Default Suggestions wanted for bland chicken dish

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not
so great) words of knowledge:
> I've got four chicken thighs, skin on, bone in. I was thinking either
> curry or chicken and chorizo bake, but Derrick has a slightly upset
> tummy and doesn't want anything at all spicy at the moment.
>
> I've got leeks and button mushrooms and carrots and frozen stock and all
> the usual stuff. I just can't quite think what to do. Should I poach
> them and then remove the meat and make a sauce with the liquid, or
> should I make a stew of everything and serve them whole?

A simple way to spice it up without aggravating his upset stomach:

Sprinkle some cinnamon on the pieces of chicken and rub it in, then
lightly sprinkle some A LITTLE bit of garlic powder on the pieces and
bake in a 350 oven. It will provide a different taste that most people
enjoy and, provided you do not go overboard on the garlic, will not
upset the stomach.
