Grill as Jane suggested - pounding out to even first is a must. This works good on an outside grill but also inside on a George Foreman or similar grill.

Pan sear as RobLL suggested - and then you can make a pan sauce and reheat them in the pan just to finish. Or add your sauce to warm a little and put them in just to reheat a bit. Sometimes I don't flour them with anything at all and they work in a little butter & olive oil.

Poaching can also work well if your intention is to use the chicken in salads or shredded for other dishes.

Buy good chicken - I find that the Bag-o-Breasts that come frozen don't turn out very moist for a chicken-centric dish but they work OK if the plan is to have them leftover in a salad or burrito or enchiladas, etc. But that could be the house-brand at my local grocery store so YMMV on the frozen breasts.
