Once it boils, reduce temperature to a simmer level. Cover the casserole/pot and boil for 30 minutes, basting the chicken/any meat occasionally. After 30 minutes, remove the pot cover and cook until juice has condensed to half.

Then take away chicken (any meat) from the pot to a serving plate. Pull the liquid from the pot to remove all the food particles, and set aside. Serve chicken hot over steamed rice and drizzle with reserved sauce. Good for 6 serving.
