Prepare the Chicken
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.
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.

Assemble the Tacos
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.
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.
