Heat the frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the oil and allow to heat up. Place the breasts into the frying pan, skin side down, making sure that the tenderloin is sitting on the top of the breast, not to the side. This will help to keep the meat moist. Let them fry until they just begin to turn golden brown. You can check this by looking at them underneath. Add the garlic to the pan.
