Sounded a bit bland so I've added onion and garlic along with onion powder and garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste. Then towards the end, I put bread crumbs on top and put it back in the oven to brown. Was great to me. Just needed a little doctoring.

This was okay. Its a little bland. I would definitely saut about a cup of onions next time with the chicken. It is a very easy weeknight supper dish though.

I cut in half for two and did not have the pimentos. Added chopped onion and browned it with the chicken. Per some comments about it being bland, I also used my homemade seasoned salt to kick up the flavor. On my second helping I put some shredded cheddar on top. Bottom line...very good but for my tastes I am glad to have upped the flavor by adding some spicy zip.

This is very similar to a dish that I prepare. Instead of pimrntos, I use finely chopped red, and yellow, bell peppers.

Didn't particularly care for this receipe. It was VERY bland, needs something added, but not sure what. Just kind of tasteless.

I added some chopped onions and 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning. Came out excellent. You might also add a little thyme.

It is a little bland, but I found Italian bread crumbs dressed it up nicely. I like the idea of using Bell's or similar seasoning for this; I'll probably add it next time. That said, sometimes simple is good and I like simple.

Try adding some herbs... Mrs Dash or Cavender's are good herb blends that add lots of flavor
