Chicken Braised in Sour Cream Sauce with Herbs

A tender, delicious dish that will fill up your whole family. The first time I braised chicken in a sour cream sauce with herbs and lemon juice, it came out a bit too tart for me. At the end of braising I stirred in some grated hard cheese, and that balanced everything out. It was a hit with everyone.
