| 1. Place chicken in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water (about 3/4 pot full). | 2. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat and let chicken simmer for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is done. | 3. Remove the chicken from the pot and place on a plate to cool (approx. 20-30 minutes). | 4. When cooled, skin and debone, placing chicken meat in a bowl for later. | 5. Remove 1 cup broth from pot and set aside for later. | 6. Do not discard the rest of the broth; will use later to boil the noodles for extra flavor. | 7. While chicken is boiling, melt butter in saute pan and add minced garlic. | 8. Let it saute for just a minute or so, then add mushrooms. | 9. If you like you can add a splash of white wine here for a special taste. | 10. Cook mushrooms until tender and set aside for later. | 11. The above steps can be done ahead of time and kept in refrigerator for assembly the day of the meal. | 12. Next, in a separate bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and 1 cup of broth -- Stir together until blended. | 13. Bring remaining broth to a boil once again and place the pasta in the boiling water (Add a bit of water if you need to). | 14. When the noodles are cooked, drain, and put back in the pot. | 15. Now, add in the rest of the ingredients, except for garnish: chicken meat, mushrooms, soup mixture, cheese, and seasonings (to your liking). | 16. Mix well and pour into a greased deep/large casserole dish. | 17. The size of the dish depends on how much chicken you use and thicker noodles vs. thinner noodles, but generally a 9x13 dish is sufficient. | 18. You can also put some of the mix, if there is too much, in a freezer-safe container to save for a quick dinner later on. | 19. Sprinkle with your garnish, and bake covered in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes. | 20. Serve with sour cream on the side for a very creamy version of this entree. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
