Melt your butter in a large skillet on med-high heat. Add chicken and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the pineapple, soy sauce, honey, sugar, and spices to the pan, scraping the bottom a bit to bring up the browned bits. Let come to a boil.
Turn the sauce down to a simmer. Push aside the pineapple and add the flour to the liquid, slowly...whisking with a fork as you add it.
Add enough flour to bring the sauce to the thickness you prefer. If necessary, add some of the saved juice to thin out the sauce.
Remove from heat and add the cooked chicken. Stir.
Serve on top of cooked rice with chopped green onions.

Note: this dish isn't always the most attractive, depending on the specific combo of ingredients you use. But I promise you it tastes good!
