Peel the green plantain and cut it into 1-inch thick rounds.
Place the plantain rounds in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender.
While the plantains boil, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and season with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken for 3-4 minutes until golden.
Add the diced red onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 3 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, pitted green olives, and water, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is fully cooked.
Drain the plantains and serve them hot alongside the braised chicken, garnishing the dish with fresh cilantro.
