- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors of the garlic butter sauce.
