Slow Cooker-Paprika Chicken

I am so proud of myself for sticking to my plan of trying recipes from this book. Here's the latest creation.
Paprika Chicken


Ingredients:
• 1 large onion, peeled and quartered
• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, rinsed and patted dry
• salt and pepper
• 1 1/3 tablespoons Hungarian paprika, divided
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom & garlic soup
• 1/2 cup sour cream
Directions:
1. In a 5 quart slow cooker, combine onions and mushrooms.
2. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper and one tsp paprika.
3. Place in slow cooker on top of the vegetables.
4. In a small bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup and remaining 1 tablespoon of paprika; pour over chicken.
5. Cover and cook on LOW setting for 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 hours.
6. Remove chicken from slow cooker and keep warm.
7. Strain and defat cooking liquid.
8. Stir sour cream into liquid and serve hot over chicken.

I used bone in chicken and just removed the skin.
I also added 1 garlice glove minced  to the can condensed cream of mushroom soup  since I couldn't find the soup as listed.
The recicpe was simple to prepare.
The taste was bland to me. Maybe I should have used more salt and pepper, not sure. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I thought the sauce might help, but no. I doubt I will be making this again:(
