Sauté the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
