Seconded. I would add some dried thyme or possibly poultry seasoning
and throw in a bay leaf or two. (I add bay leaves to any kind of stew.)
Definitely use chicken broth or stock for more flavour. It won't be a
quick meal but it will be a mostly hands-off one with leftovers based on
how much he makes. To something like this I'd probably add dumplings at
the very end, 20 minutes covered, 20 uncovered just as on the stovetop.
