Herbed Chicken Breasts
So simple but oh, so good!
All you need is:
Fresh Herbs (I use Thyme, Rosemary, Sage)
2 - 3 TBS Olive Oil
Season Salt (I use a store house brand Spicy Seasoned Salt)
Pepper to taste
Skinless Chicken Breasts (you may like to brine them for a 1 - 2 hrs)
1: Simply chop the herbs....the amount of each is fully up to you.
2: Place the herbs in a small bowl and add about 2 - 3 tbs of olive oil to make a loose paste
3: Add season salt and pepper to taste
4: Rub mixture all over the chicken breasts
5: Let marinate for an hour or so
6: Smoke them with your favorite wood (I have used Apple and Mesquite with great results on both)
As a beginner I check them regularly and noticed that since they are breasts and not too large they are usually done in 1 - 3 hrs at 225 in my
Masterbuilt, 3 hrs is pushing it.
I have used these several ways since I usually make extra and am eating them for days. Chopped they are great on salad. Sliced they make awesome fajitas. They are incredible whole right after the smoke. I've even had sliced chicken and eggs for breakfast the following day.
I know, very simple but great for beginners with incredible results.
