Instead of garlic, use shallots or onions. Alternately, use another Make a poaste with a bit of olive oil or butter and an herb like rosemary or thyme for flavor or rely on good old sage, it's always a favorite when it comes to chicken. Make the same amount of paste to equal the garlic you would be using in the recipe.

Hope this helps!

I like trying different chicken recipes and this one was definitely different. Not only did I put the herb topping under the skin, I made a slit in the chicken and
added some in the chicken. I liked the flavors of the parsley and lemon and
the almonds gave it a nice crunch. I didn't use the brick, I just browned the
chicken on the stove and then placed it in the oven. Of course, oven
temperatures vary...I used a 350 degree oven for a good 30 minutes.

Following the advice of others I also cooked the chicken in the oven for 30 minutes and it was fully cooked and juicy. But my family and I found the taste to be quite bland. It just tasted like regular chicken and it was too much work for that. I won't be making it again.

After watching this show I had to make this chicken recipe. It is absolutely fabulous - I've made chicken every way imaginable and this has to be one the best ever. My family loved it. A few items to note - I added alittle more garlic than recipe called for, used lime zest because I didn't have lemons on hand, and cooked the chicken in a dark cast iron pan. 8-10 minutes per side with large brick directly on top, then 30 minutes in the oven at 400. Chicken was cooked perfectly. For those that are commenting on the time, the breasts that I used were larger than those on the show. You have to remember it's a tv show, so improvise when you make the dish in your home. The timing isn't a big deal, most recipes require alteration in timing depending on oven, product, and pan used. Don't let it deter you, the chicken is carmelized beautifully, it's tender and moist, and there are delicious pan drippings for the plate.

What spice could you use instead of garlic as it makes my husband sick?

Use thighs not breasts... thighs are much tastier and cook in a shorter time.

Bone in chicken breasts take 40-45 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Rachael lied about the time here. If you are planning a 50 minute meal, this is decent but not over-the-top delish. If you cook it as long as she says, you will have a lemony raw chicken

Rachel must have been using really small chicken breasts on the show because I used nice size ones and it took 30-40 minutes to cook the breasts in the oven both times I have tried this recipe. I used roesemary and cilantro, not a fan of parsley. I suggest playing with your own herbs for your preferred flavor. Also suggest using Montreal chicken seasoning which gave the chicken excellent flavor. Overall, a nice way to cook skin on chicken breast for a change of pace.

The chicken was moist and flavorful! But the suggested timing was off. At the end of the cook time the chicken was still not done. I would suggest doing 12 minutes on the pan and 20 minutes in the oven.

Yet another great recipe! Many thanks.

I have made this recipe many times for my family as well as for company. I grow my own herbs so I also added rosemary and basil. I use chicken breasts. I also use my cast iron frying pans and obtain a beautiful crust and moist chicken. I will make this many more times.
