Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
Chop the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces if not already prepared. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, and 2 cups of chow mein noodles to the sauce mixture. Stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Top the cheese layer with the remaining 1 cup of chow mein noodles for extra crunch.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the noodles on top are golden brown, and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
