Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning
- 1/4 cup Everything Rub
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Generously season the boneless skinless chicken breasts with the Everything Rub. Place the seasoned chicken on a plate, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 minutes to let the flavors absorb.
- Preheat the Grill: Fire up your pellet grill and set the temperature to 350°F (177°C). Allow the grill to reach this temperature before cooking.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill grates when the temperature reaches 350°F. Close the lid and cook for 10 minutes to begin the smoking process.
- Check Temperature and Finish Cooking: After the initial 10 minutes, check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer. Continue cooking until the center temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the grill and transfer to a clean plate. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve: Serve the smoked chicken breasts whole, sliced, or shredded as desired. Enjoy this flavorful and tender dish!
Notes
- Make sure to use a reliable meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for safe consumption.
- Resting the chicken is essential to keep it juicy and tender.
- You can adjust the seasoning by adding your favorite herbs or spices to complement the Everything Rub.
- If you do not have a pellet grill, a charcoal or gas grill can be used with a similar smoking technique.
- Leftover grilled chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
