Spice advice?

Like many people, I love garlic, but it doesn't love me, so I can only have it once in a while.  Onion also doesn't love me, but since I only kinda like onion, this doesn't bother me as much.  Anyway, I'm hoping to find some kind of savory seasoning that I can dump on chicken (or steak, but mostly chicken) while cooking it that will have a similar effect to that of garlic salt.  Strong flavor, no marinating needed, and capsaicin-free because I can't handle spicy/hot anything. I was making chicken for Mike and myself (pan-frying skinless breasts in olive oil) and I put garlic salt on his and paprika, salt, and pepper on mine, and his was SO much more tasty.  Mine tasted fine on the outside but bland on the inside.  I know that cooking it differently would get a more flavorful result, but I like being able to cook dinner in 7 minutes without any prep, so I'm looking for something you put on as you put the meat in the pan/broiler/grill.

Suggestions?  (and is lemon pepper as terrible as I remember it being in my childhood?)
