Chicken 'n' Summer Squash over Mashed Potatoes

"A popular country-style dish in Ohio is chicken 'n' noodles over mashed potatoes. They serve this a lot at Amish restaurants, but I don't know if it is specifically Amish. Yes, we love our starches. =D I have tried to make it more healthful by substituting sliced summer squash in place of the noodles. I also cook it in a slow cooker so it is fairly simple to make. I find that if you slice zucchini or yellow squash lengthwise into 1/8" to 1/4" sticks, they kind of resemble noodles in texture, and since they don't have much more flavor than a noodle, they substitute in for noodles fairly well. I like to cut my sticks in half so they make a more manageable "noodle" on the fork. Note: mirepoix is a combination of chopped carrots, celery, and onion. Instead of making my own, I just buy it frozen."
