It is tasty. I sometimes make something very similar (in my dutch oven) -
and it's easy enough to scale down the ingredient amounts if you're just
cooking it for one or two people... And yes, nothing wrong with adding a
little s&p and garlic ;-)

And IME, if you de-bone the chicken (or use boneless chicken pieces
instead), any leftovers can be turned into a thick hearty soup (stick
blender comes in handy + some chicken stock) which freezes just fine.
