Take your everyday chicken breasts up a notch with this smoked chicken breast recipe! Smoking is an easy, mostly hands-off method that results in tender and juicy chicken with rich, smoky flavors every time.
Preheat the smoker to 225F using your favorite hardwood.
Drizzle the chicken with olive oil. Sprinkle the chicken with the chicken rub and massage the chicken evenly on all sides.
Place the chicken onto the grill and smoke for 1 hour or until the inner temperature reaches 160F.
Remove the chicken from the smoker and tent it with foil. Let the carryover cooking increase the internal temperature to 165F.
Slice the chicken and serve.
