Method

Prepare the Chicken

1

Season the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Add the organic chicken breast and coat it well with the seasoning mixture. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Prepare the Vegetables

3

Chop the Vegetables

While the chicken is baking, thinly slice the onion, chop the cilantro, and shred the cabbage. Place them in separate bowls to prepare for assembling the tacos.

4

Prepare the Arugula

Rinse the arugula under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Assemble the Tacos

5

Warm the Tortillas

In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

6

Build the Tacos

On each tortilla, layer a few strips of the crispy chicken, followed by a sprinkle of cotija cheese, a spoonful of onion, fresh cilantro, shredded cabbage, and arugula. Drizzle with salsa verde.

Serve

7

Enjoy Your Tacos

Serve the tacos immediately while they're warm. Enjoy with extra salsa verde on the side if desired.
