"This is comfort food at it's best, it makes a wonderful meal served with mashed potatoes or fries or cooked egg noodles, I make this often it is a family favorite --- you will need a very large skillet for this and if you can fit more chicken in your skillet then go ahead, I make this using boneless skinless breasts but any part of the chicken will work well although you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly --- make certain to hand-squeeze out all the excess moisture from the chicken or it will create a watery gravy --- no extra salt needed to this dish as the canned soups, Parmesan cheese and dry onion soup already adds plenty, you can always add it in at the end of cooking if needed, if you wanted to go the extra step, fresh sliced sauteed mushrooms works even better than the canned, I have listed canned for quicker prep --- cooking time is only estimated --- you will love this!"

For the gravy; add in more butter to the skillet only if needed then add in onion and saute for about 3 minutes or until just slightly softened.
Add in garlic and chili flakes; saute stirring for 2 minutes.
Add in all remaining ingredients (start with 1/4 cup milk or even less as the sauce will thin even more as it cooking you can always add in more after) bring to a simmer stirring constantly with a wooden spoon scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet; cook until the mixture is combined and bubbly.

I loved this recipe! It was very easy and tasted yummy! My husband liked it too! I ended up using the whole pack of onion soup mix and I used 1 can of mushroom soup and 1 can of cream of celery soup (cuz that's what I had). It turned out great and we will make it again! Thanks for sharing :)

This was inedible. The gravy was entirely too oniony, salty, and garlicy. I tried adding more red pepper so it was so hot it wouldn't matter, I tried adding more mill.... nothing helped it. I won't make this again.
