Bursting with ground chicken, fresh herbs, onion, fennel, and apple, these hearty peppers are the stuff of dreams!
PREP TIME: 30 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 30–40 MINUTES
YIELD: 6 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
• 2 yellow bell peppers
• 2 orange bell peppers
• 2 red bell peppers
• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 pounds ground chicken
• 1½ cups diced yellow onion
• ½ cup diced fennel
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 1 Granny Smith apple, diced
• 2 tablespoons rice flour
• 12 ounces Fresh to Market
Organic Chicken Broth
• 6 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
• 3 tablespoons chopped thyme
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Cracked black pepper, to taste
• 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
PREPARATION
To prepare the bell peppers, lay each pepper on its side and cut off the bottom inch to expose the cavity with the seeds and ribs. Use a pair of scissors to cut the stem as close to the pepper as possible while still leaving the top of the pepper intact. When flipped upside down, this should create a flat base for the pepper to stand on. If the pepper is not stable, shave away some of the pepper until stable.
With the cavity of the bell pepper facing upward, use a small, thin knife to trim the ribs from the sides. Use a melon baller or spoon to carefully remove the seed cluster, leaving the top of the pepper intact. If the stem accidentally pops out, trim a piece of the bottom that was removed to place over the hole. Place prepared peppers in a baking dish with their cavities facing up.
Heat oven to 400°F.
Heat a large sauté pan on medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and then the ground chicken. Break chicken into small pieces, then turn heat to high and sauté until chicken begins to brown. Remove cooked chicken to a dish and return the pan to medium-heat.
Add the remaining olive oil and then the onion, fennel, and garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until translucent, then add the diced apple. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, until apples are just soft. Add cooked chicken back to the pan and mix to combine. Stir in the rice flour, then add the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook 1–2 minutes, until thickened. Fold in parsley and thyme and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon chicken mix evenly into each pepper, then top with grated Parmesan and bake until cheese is melted and the edges of the peppers are beginning to brown, about 10–15 minutes.

PREP TIME: 20 MINUTES, PLUS 18 HOURS RESTING
COOK TIME: 4–5 HOURS
YIELD: ABOUT 8 OUNCES
INGREDIENTS
• 2½ pounds beef eye of round
• 1 cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 jalapeños, sliced thin
• ½ cup pineapple juice
• ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder

Even better, their high-quality beef is slow-smoked over real hardwood for a bold and savory taste that will keep you coming back for more.
PREPARATION
Remove all exterior fat from the beef eye of round. Wrap in plastic and place in the freezer for 2 hours to firm up.
Cut beef into ¼-inch-thick strips, removing any excess fat from individual pieces. (Beef can be cut with or against the grain depending on personal preference—with the grain will have more chew and against the grain will be more tender.)
Combine all remaining ingredients in a work bowl and then add the meat and mix to coat. Marinate the meat for 8 hours, or overnight.
Place marinated meat in the air fryer. Dehydrate 4–5 hours at 160°F until the jerky is rigid and just begins to crack when bent.
Let jerky cure loosely covered on racks for 8 hours, or overnight.
Store jerky in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
Note: There may be some trial and error with removing enough moisture to maximize shelf life vs. over-drying and being too brittle and not as palatable. If you make this recipe more than once, take notes on your first batch so you can perfect the second!
