We first had cubed chicken at Hamdi Restaurant. It is a Somali restaurant in Toronto that is quite popular. Whenever we go to Somali restaurants, we never order individual dishes. We choose the large platters of rice served with different types of meat dishes: roasted goat meat, goat shanks, beef cubes, chicken cubes, thin-sliced beef or chicken steaks, kingfish steaks, etc.

We usually order two types of meat along with the rice and we share the food, eating from the platter. The sharing part makes the food taste even better. Out of courtesy, they bring you extra plates, spoons, forks, and knives but only a few of the patrons use them.

This chicken dish is great for students, and those who are single. It is quick and easy and it is very budget-friendly. You can buy boneless and skinless chicken or you could debone the chicken and save money. Deboning the chicken will also give you bones that you could use for preparing stock. Put the bones in the freezer until you get the time to prepare the stock.

For this dish, we prefer dark meat but you could also use chicken breast. Just make sure it does not become dry.
