In a bowl, combine thoroughly all ingredients for the filling. Lay flat I breast and put enough filling lengthwise in the middle. Cover with the other breast putting edges together.
Sew edges with a needle and thread from end to end to close and hold filling. Put in a shallow cooking pan and place in steamer. Steam covered for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or until meat is cooked.
Remove chicken, let cool a little, then pan-fry chicken surface in a little oil until lightly browned. Let cool, remove thread and slice into serving pieces.
Arrange on a platter. Garnish with green pepper and sweet red pepper slices. Serve with banana sauce.
