In a pot with water, salt, and onion, cook the chicken breast for 30 minutes, strain and shred. Let it cool. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with mayonnaise, carrot, green beans, and parsley until you have a homogeneous consistency. In a small pot with water and salt, cook the yellow potatoes for 20 minutes or until soft, strain and mash 3 times until you have a smooth and creamy consistency. Let it cool. Peel the peppers, remove the veins and seeds, cut into pieces and blend with the oil for 3 minutes. Add the pepper oil and lime juice to the mashed potatoes, mix gently until you achieve a moldable and smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Place a metal ring on a plate and add the potato mixture, followed by the chicken, avocado, tomato, and another layer of the potato mixture. Carefully unmold and decorate with the boiled egg, avocado, black olives, and lettuce.
