Steps:
- Pat chicken dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir in butter.
- When the butter is foamy, add the chicken cutlets to the pan. Cook until the chicken is browned on both sides and the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165° F, about 3-4 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan, so brown the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside while you make the sauce.
- Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.

- Reduce heat to low, whisk in the cream, Dijon and honey. Cook for a few more minutes to let the sauce thicken. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Return chicken to the skillet; garnish with additional fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
