This is a Thai-inspired twist on the traditional retro dish, Chicken Kiev, and features a compound butter filled with traditional Thai flavors, including curry, Thai chili sauce, lemongrass, cilantro, peanuts, and ginger. The panko-curry breading adds a delicious crunch. —Dan Carberg

- Chicken Preparation
-
Lay a chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or 2 large resealable plastic bags; pound to 1/4 inch thick with a heavy skillet or mallet. Transfer to a clean piece of plastic wrap and season with salt and pepper. Put a piece of compound butter in the center of the chicken; using the plastic wrap as an aid, tightly roll up the chicken starting at a long side, tucking in the short sides as you go. Tightly wrap the chicken roll in plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining chicken and butter. Chill for 90 minutes.
