Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes. Place half of chicken in bottom of large shallow baking dish. Layer rice on top of chicken, then arrange remaining chicken on rice. Add a layer of coconut; then a layer of pineapple chunks. Dot marmalade in spaces between chunks of pineapple. Mix water, lemon juice and pineapple juice: pour over layers.
