I'll take door number two, Monte......

I'd say one or two myself.
Although a light fruity red may be better...are these the only options your catering service is providing?

Of those choices, maybe #1 to match acidity of sauvignon blanc with acidity of tomatoes. However roasted tomatoes may lose some acidity (compared to raw tomatoes) and grilled chicken can go nicely with a Sancerre rouge or rose or a medium-bodied pinot noir.
So I'll second Barnesy and suggest a fruity red wine.

Just my meager opinion, Cat, but of those choices, I'd go for No. 2.
