I've made this recipe numerous times but never add nuts. The flavor is still great. I have also substituted orange for the lemon, its a little sweeter but just as good. Those with diverticulitus can enjoy the chicken without the nuts.

This is the first time I've tried a recipe off this site. I cheated a little bit and used a package of store chicken which already had a little bit of lemon and herb flavoring. But I cooked it with this recipe and it turned out amazing! The chicken exploded with flavor. I served it over a rice pilaf and a side of herb carrots. Amazing!
