This Smoked Chicken Breast Recipe makes for the perfect weeknight dinner! I love finding easy recipes that either myself or the old lad can make on a weeknight. Most nights work can end late so fast and easy is key. (I have included affiliate links to products I love. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)
Now one thing I have learned over the years is to cook to temp, not for a set time. Now I have fallen in love with my Pit Boss Pro 1100 from Lowes, if you don’t have Lowes Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or Pit Boss website themselves. I love that I can set it at 225 with smoke and run inside and take a shower or prep sides and it just cooks my meat with an amazing smoke flavor!

Smoked Chicken Breast Ingredients:
- Chicken Breasts (either bone-in or boneless)
- Olive Oil
- Johnny’s Seasoning Salt
- Lawry’s Garlic Salt
- Montreal Steak Seasoning
How To Make Smoked Chicken Breast:
Start by pulling out your chicken breasts and brushing with oil.
Season your breasts and allow them to accumulate to room temperature (this helps them smoke better)
Start your smoker up and get it rolling smoke. I used Pit Boss Grills Mesquite pellets but you can use any flavor of pellets to smoke your chicken.
Once I get my Pellet Grill rolling smoke I set it at 225 degrees with the P Setting at P7. You can cook at a hotter temperature if you are in a hurry but 225 on my Pitboss is my sweet spot.
Flip your meat as necessary to make sure both sides cook evenly.
Use a meat thermometer to check that your chicken has cooked to 160 degrees. (I love this one ->here on Amazon)
Serve and enjoy!!
