Add diced green bell pepper and continue to sauté.

Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.

Stir in diced potatoes, carrots, corn, black olives, cilantro, parsley, and seasoning; mix well.

Let the stuffing cool before filling the chicken.

Stuff the chicken with the prepared filling and sew it shut with needle and thread to secure the filling inside.

Cover the chicken with the remaining mixture and wrap it in aluminum foil.
