Cut the chicken into 1/4 inch strips and put them into a bowl. Add the flour, salt, garlic, and pepper and mix to coat the chicken. Heat the oil in a large fry pan over High heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes, tossing often to give it a quick sear on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
