Suggestions on Spice Mixtures to add:

3/4 teaspoon chipotle powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic and 2 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, plus the parsley, pepper and salt.

If you want the chicken to have more of a chicken soup taste go with 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon onion powder, plus the salt/pepper and parsley.
