Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain well.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the cooked chicken, cream of potato soup, cream of broccoli soup, milk, mixed vegetables, broccoli, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender and the mixture is heated through.
Add the cooked noodles to the sauce and stir until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Cover with foil.
Bake for 20 minutes.
