Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large heavy skillet.
Add the chicken, skinned side down, and cook over moderately high heat until golden on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn the breasts and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 11 minutes longer.

Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. One wine you could try is Francis Ford Coppolan Oregon Pinot Noir. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 21 dollars.
