Marinade the chicken

In a medium bowl, mix together the pineapple, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, vinegar, chili powder, cumin, salt, jalapeño, Worcestershire, cilantro, and ¼ of the sliced onion. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours covered in the refrigerator.

Cook the chicken

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, working in batches, add the chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Cook the vegetables

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan and increase the heat to high. Once the oil is smoking, add the bell peppers and remaining onion until browned and tender, 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to combine.
