Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts in half to create thinner cutlets. Pat dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken cutlets and sear for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium and add sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in balsamic vinegar, brown sugar or honey, cherry tomatoes, rosemary, and water or broth. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, nestling in the sauce, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until fully cooked.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with remaining sauce over each cutlet.
