Add a cinnamon stick, chicken stock cubes, black pepper, olive oil, and bay leaf.

Add water as needed until the meat falls apart easily when pressed.

Cook for roughly 1 and 1/2 hours until the meat is tender.

If the meat is too dry, add a little water and let it simmer on low until the water is reduced.
