It depends on what kind of flavors you like. Some minced onions, red peppers, or some grated cheddar cheese, lemon pepper, black pepper, perhaps some poultry seasoning, too. The variations are many.
I'd try to stay away from strictly salt because the soup has plenty, IMO, but if sodium isn't a problem, you could use regular salt or poultry seasoning salt. It's like regular poultry seasoning, only with salt added.

You can either use fresh onion and garlic and sauté it with the chicken or you can use onion powder and garlic powder. Also if those aren't spices you like just find something in your spice rack that you and your husband like. I have made something similar, but used a can of sliced mushrooms, and some sautéed celery and onions. It is a good enough recipe if you get creative with it and add more spices to meet your taste. Have fun with it the next time you cook it.

First, I did not brown the chicken breast halves whole, I cut them into small bite sized pieces. Second, I did not remove the chicken from the skillet when it was browned, I added the soup and milk to the skillet with the chicken still in it, brought all that to a boil, then added the rice and broccoli, turned it down to low, and cooked for six minutes instead of five, because my rice usually doesn't get done in five minutes and usually needs just an extra minute. The meal was a success and very good, but my husband and I both thought it was just a little bit plain and didn't have a whole lot of flavor. I'm not a very experienced cook, I've been cooking for a long time but don't know a whole lot about the art of cooking. I'm looking for some tips from any of you more experienced cooks about what I can do to give this meal a little more flavor and make it a little less plain. Other than the fact it was kind of plain, I thought it was very good, very easy to make, it just needs a little something extra. What do you guys think? The recipe follows below. Thank you, Brittany
