- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried whole dill weed

Instructions:
- Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts.
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of waxed paper and gently flatten them to approximately 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

- After marinating, remove the chicken breasts from the dish, discarding any excess marinade.
- Preheat your grill and coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Grill the chicken breasts over medium coals, approximately 6 inches from the heat source, for about 8 minutes, turning them once halfway through the cooking process. Ensure they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Once cooked, transfer the grilled chicken breasts to a serving platter and garnish with lime wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
- To prepare the dill sauce, combine the sour cream, cottage cheese, lime juice, chopped green onions, dried dill weed, and white pepper in a blender. Process the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Serve each portion of grilled chicken with a generous dollop of dill sauce, approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons per serving.
