If using pork, use a pork shoulder and cook about 2 ½ - 3 hours until you can pull it. With chicken or turkey, cook it for about 1½ hours in an inch of water at 350 degrees in a large covered roasting pan with a good lid to hold in the steam.

Use chicken or turkey breasts with the skin and bone for the extra flavor. Not necessary to use boneless breasts because more flavor is available with the skin and bone and it is more economical too.

If the chicken does not pull apart at 1½ hours, cook an additional 15 minutes until it does pull apart. With chicken or turkey, before you add the following ingredients, pull out the bones and unwanted gristle, etc. Only the meat is used in the chili.

The last half hour of the cooking process, add the following ingredients.

Secret Tip If you want to stay with the white look, add the yellow bell pepper. 1 teaspoon of celery seed ½ cup of white wine

Secret Tip To the chicken or turkey recipe, add 1/3 cup of olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste Use white pepper if you are trying to keep the white color.

Cook chili mixture an additional ½ hour. Add 4-6 16 oz. cans of your favorite white bean.

Secret Tip Use Great Northern beans.

Stir in the beans and leave it in the oven until the beans are warm and let it cool for 20-30 minutes. Reheat to serve.
