Smoker I highly recommend this one!
Preheat. Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees F using your favorite hardwood. I like to use oak and mix it with a fruitwood like cherry or apple for a bold flavor. Season. Drizzle the olive oil on the chicken breasts and rub to distribute. Sprinkle the Chicken Rub evenly on all sides over each chicken breast. Scroll to the notes section for a link to my Lemon Herb Chicken Seasoning if you don't have any Chicken Rub on hand.
Smoke. Place the chicken breasts directly on the grill rates and smoke for approximately 1 hour. Cook until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the meat reaches 160 degrees F.
Rest. Remove the chicken from the smoker. Tent with foil, and let the carryover cooking increase the internal temperature to 165 degrees F.
Dig in. Once the chicken has reached 165 degrees F, slice, serve, and enjoy!
