This amazing Chicken Casserole has always been our favorite. It's filled with veggies, noodles, and topped with biscuits and cheese. The sauce starts with a can of Golden Mushroom soup and cheese. Great dish for company.

Notes
NOTE: Preparation time does not include time necessary to cook off and debone a chicken and render the chicken broth.NOTE: This works best with the smaller biscuits, not the big grands and other huge or thick biscuits.NOTE: Any kind of mixed vegetable medley will work.NOTE: I double this recipe when I use the meat from a whole chicken, and use 16-oz. of noodles and a 10x15" baking dish.NOTE: When doubling the recipe, increase cooking time to 45-60 minutes before adding biscuits.NOTE: You can substitute rotisserie chicken and a carton of chicken broth for ease and convenience.
