The correct way to abort the current recipe during the Chef compile phase is to return.

Note, this will not abort a Chef run. For how to abort a Chef run, see How to Abort/End A Chef Run.

The response from jtimberman to How to Abort/End A Chef Run gives an incredible amount of background on this topic and is highly recommened.
