The Sweetest & Most Savory Smoked Chicken Breast

Chicken breast often gets a bad rep in the BBQ community. Personally, I think it all comes down to the cook’s inability to get a juicy product with a nice finish. Chicken breast, when smoked correctly, can provide a nice bite followed by an intense heat or a smokey flavor profile; depending which rubs you use. You can feed a crowd on a budget with chicken breasts or create a nice meal after a long week day.

Ingredients

Six boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp of kosher salt
2 tbsp of cracked black pepper
1 tbsp of garlic powder
1 tbsp of onion powder
1 tbsp of lemon peel
2 tsp of smoked paprika
3 tbsp of olive oil

Instructions

Begin by patting each breast completely dry
Rub the olive oil onto each breast as a light coating binder
Liberally season each breast with your seasoning mixture
Set your smoker to 225F and let the prepared breasts sit at room temp while smoker preheats
When grill is at temp, place breasts on grill and insert a thermometer into one of them
Let them roll in smoke for about 45 minutes or until 165 IT
Pull from grill and let them rest for about ten minutes
Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Thank you so much for being a part of our amazing community! My wife and I joined the wide world of pellet grilling back in 2016 after smelling some delicious food being smoked by our next-door neighbor. We, like many of you, spent hours online; researching different grills, all their features, and all the different price points. We ultimately ended up buying one and the rest is history. We have a passion for two things: to help people and to be able to make the BEST food possible. We created this site to accomplish those two things and to bring some ease to not only the decision process but also to the user process!
