Start by heating a casserole dish and adding butter and olive oil.

Add mirepoix vegetables (carrots, onions, celery) to the dish and stir to coat with oil and butter.

Let the vegetables caramelize while preparing the plantains.

Warm the pre-cooked green plantains on the griddle with a little oil and cover with a dome.

Add cumin to the mirepoix vegetables and stir.

Add black beans and chicken broth to the vegetable mixture and let it cook for 20-25 minutes until soupy.

Scoop the warmed plantains into a bowl and mash them, adding butter if needed for texture.

Prepare the chicken breasts by making a pocket in each and stuffing them with the mashed plantains.

Secure the stuffed chicken breasts with toothpicks to keep them closed during cooking.
