From the JNF Kitchen: Johnny Stern's stuffed chicken from Israel

Johnny Stern, owner of Stern Winery in Israel's Western Galilee, shared this Recipe of the Week with us.

The family-owned winery, established in 2004, is located on one of the mountain peaks in Kibbutz Tuval and currently produces around 25,000 bottles of wine a year. The wines  are highly praised and win awards both locally and internationally.

This year, Johnny is debuting his first kosher-certified line, and we just completed a contest to design the bottle's label! We received tons of amazing submissions on Instagram with the hashtag #LchaimDesignContest and had a hard time choosing the best. Stay tuned for the winner soon.

Stern Winery is a member of Western Galilee Now, a consortium of small businesses in the region and a JNF partner organization in helping bring food, culture and business to Israel's North.

Enjoy this #RecipeOfTheWeek, and if you make any of these recipes, be sure to send a photo of your creation to teddyherzl18@gmail.com or tweet it to @JNFUSA with the hashtag #JNFfoodie. We might share it!
