Mix 6 Tablespoons margarine, the ginger, lime peel, juice, curry powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Freeze until firm. Pound out chicken breasts, place a pat of butter in the center, and enclose as for chicken Kiev. Use toothpicks to hold together. Whisk eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Dip each breast half in egg, then in crumbs to coat well. Dip each breast twice. Refrigerate for 1 hour prior to baking. Arrange 1 inch apart on 2 greased pans. Dot with remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter; cover with foil. Bake in preheated 425( oven for 12 minutes. Uncover; turn each piece and bake 15 minutes more or until crumbs are golden brown.
