Pour the olive oil into a skillet set over medium-high heat, and when just about to smoke, add the chicken breasts skin side down. Immediately reduce heat to medium, and cook until well browned on the bottom, about six to seven minutes. Move them occasionally to prevent them from sticking. Flip them, and cook until completely cooked through, about five to seven minutes. When done, transfer the chicken to an oven safe dish, and place in the warm oven.
