Good and hearty but lacks flavor...

This was very easy to prepare and the chicken was so tender from being in the crockpot. I added some Lawry's seasoning and liquid smoke to the crock. I still found that it was a bit bland when served with the noodles. I will experiment more with spiced next time. My son absolutely loved this recipe.
