   • In a large resealable bag, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and half of the ground ginger.
   • Add the chicken breasts to the bag, seal it, and turn to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade.
   • Refrigerate the bag for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally to ensure thorough marination.

2. Preparing the Pineapple Sauce:

   • Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice. Set aside 1/2 cup of the pineapple chunks for later use, and refrigerate the remaining juice and pineapple.
   • In a saucepan, combine the cornstarch with the reserved pineapple juice until smooth.
   • Stir in the reserved pineapple chunks, orange marmalade, lemon juice, and the remaining ground ginger.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens. This usually takes a couple of minutes.

3. Baking the Chicken:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Drain the marinated chicken breasts and discard the marinade.
   • Place the chicken breasts in a greased 9-inch glass baking dish.
   • Top the chicken with the prepared pineapple sauce, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
   • Bake the chicken uncovered for approximately 45 minutes, or until the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through.

4. Serving:

   • Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
   • Serve the Baked Pineapple Chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the burst of tropical flavors!
