In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, orange marmalade, curry powder, salt, and pepper.
Beat until smooth.
Stir in the minced cooked chicken, green onion, and celery until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Roll each ball in the finely chopped toasted almonds until coated.
Place the coated balls on a serving platter or baking sheet.
Cover and chill the balls until firm in the refrigerator, for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days.

Wine Advice:
The creamy texture and subtle spice of these curried chicken cheese balls pair wonderfully with a slightly sweet white wine, such as a Riesling or a Moscato. The wine's sweetness will balance the curry flavors while complementing the richness of the cream cheese.
