For pan sauteeing, I've noticed olive oil has way to low of a smoke point and I end up surrounded by smoke with undercooked chicken.
I want to avoid trans fats too.

Olive oil is fine.. what temp do you have the stove on at?
Why don't you try to marinate the chicken in olive oil + seasonings and then fry it.. or shove a breast in the oven @ 375 for 40-50 mins for a healthier option.Cutting

cheapest and one of the highest smoke points (ala you can fry it at whatever temp you want. **** olive oil for frying man.): peanut oil
the most versatile oil.
if you wanna go a little more expensive and keep the ability to fry at any temp you want (reasonably) then i'd recommend coconut oil. one of my faves.

You can use olive oil but leave the extra virgin stuff for salad dressings and such. Refined olive oil is still one of the best oils to use and it has a higher smoke point suitable for frying and cooking at higher temperatures.
If you can't be bothered - just use Canola for cooking. It's cheap, healthy (although not as much as olive oil) and has a milder taste than olive oil.
