This smoked chicken breast recipe tastes great served alongside a spicy coleslaw for a summer picnic. I smoked my chicken on my Green Mountain Pellet Grill, but you can use any type of smoker for this recipe. This dish starts out with a chicken dry rub, and includes a delicious chicken mop. Hope you enjoy it!
Place 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves on saran wrap and cover with another layer. Pound with mallet until they are of even thickness. Remove top layer of plastic.
Coat chicken with the dry rub on both sides. Let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Make Citrus Mop by mixing all the ingredients together.
Drizzle chicken with about half of the citrus mop.
Preheat smoker to 220 F. Lay chicken on the smoker and smoke for about 30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking process, mop them with the rest of the citrus mop.
When chicken reaches 161-165, remove them from the smoker. Serve with cole slaw and barbecue sauce, or make into sandwiches.
