Now here's a good way to use my orange zest. I'll try this as the breast is the only part of chicken I eat. Looks delicious.

Excellent! Thank you. I'll be omitting the butter and roasting the breasts in the oven (same cooking time).

Would omitting the garlic powder change the taste much. I have an allergy to garlic.

In my opinion, recipes are only a launching pad. I see no reason why omitting the garlic would make it less tasty. You might want to substitute another herb or spice in its place.

I'm sure it would be fine. You could substitute onion powder unless you are allergic to that too. Or maybe seasoned salt.

I would try chives or leeks.
