... and if you want to cheat, just use cream of chicken soup with some milk in it for the gravy! Everything else looks the same as mom's recipe, doesn't it?

Yes, but you really should try the gravy mix with it. I used to think the cream of chicken soup way was great until I tried this version. I think the sauce is sooooo yummy!!! But maybe I just don't love it quite as cream of chicken soup-y. And I LOVE the basil and red pepper in it! It gives a new level of deliciousness :)
