Prepare the green plantains by slicing them and placing them in a bowl with salt and chicken seasoning.

Use a lemon squeezer to shape the plantains into cups.

Deep-fry the plantain cups until cooked from the inside out, then drain on paper towels.

In a skillet, heat coconut oil and add curry powder and green seasoning.

Add the marinated chicken and some hot water from the marinating container.

Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, then add additional seasoning, potato, carrots, parsley, thyme, onion, garlic, bell peppers, and seasoning peppers.

Let it stew for a bit, adjusting salt and black pepper towards the end.

Stuff the fried plantain cups with the curry chicken mixture.
