I need a new chicken recipe. I am tired of cooking chicken the same old way and want to jazz things up a bit for my family. Can you recommend a quick and easy chicken recipe?
~Mothers & home cooks everywhere

I have heard this story time and time again. Chicken dishes are a family favorite in many households. So much so that boredom can ensue. My recipe for Lemon Braised Chicken with Herbs is relatively quick, easy and presents like something from a fine restaurant.
