Place the diced chicken in a slow cooker.
In a mixing bowl combine the ½ cup chicken broth, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce, tomato paste, garlic powder, ginger, pepper, and Sriracha hot sauce.
Whisk until well-blended. Pour mixture over chicken in the slow cooker, and press chicken into the sauce to cover. Cover the slow cooker with the lid, and cook the chicken on low heat for 5 to 6 hours.
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the ⅓ cup chicken broth and ⅓ cup cornstarch. Whisk until well-blended, then gently fold cornstarch mixture into the chicken mixture as the chicken will be very tender.
Fold in the diced pineapple, onion, and bell pepper. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook the mixture on low for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until the sauce thickens, and fruits and veggies are slightly tender.
Serve warm with white or brown rice.
