Curried Chicken Salad

A friend of ours makes some fantastic curried chicken balls as appetizers.  It is more work making the little balls than I would like, so I've converted it into a chicken salad

Preparation Time: 10 minutes or so

Ingredients:
1/2 - 1 pkg cream cheese, softened
enough mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
2 tablespoons orange marmalade or apricot preserves
2 teaspoons (or more) curry powder
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon white pepper
3 cup chopped, shredded, or ground cooked chicken
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts or almonds

Directions:
Mix everything together and serve on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich.  The actual amounts are very flexible and depend on how strong your curry is and your mayo to cream cheese preference.  I'm sure you could toss in sour cream or yogurt in place of one or both as well.
