Grilled Chicken Marsala Onion Soup

I needed to create a recipe for a contest using Tyson Grilled Chicken.  When I opened the package the little chicken chunks reminded me of over sized croutons.  Then it hit me!!!  French onion soup......but without the croutons.  I'll use chicken chunks instead.  How much more healthier it would be also!!!
