Ms. Ruth's Plate Recipe

Prepare the Chicken

Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs.

Grill the Chicken

Place the seasoned chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop the bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots into bite-sized pieces.

Roast the Vegetables

Toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

Cook the Potatoes

Peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Mash the Potatoes

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
