   • ½ tsp cumin, ground

8. Trim and thinly slice strawberries; add to the bowl along with the blueberries.
9. Remove peel from the zested oranges; halve lengthwise, then slice crosswise into thin half-moons. Add to the bowl.
10. Shave parsley leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add to the bowl, stir to combine the salad, and set aside.
11. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
12. Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add chicken and marinade to the skillet; pan-fry until the chicken is golden and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
