Not something I've done but it would seem to me the best way to do it would be to do a cold smoke and then a pan sear to control doneness.

We'll, after a little more research, I've decided to brine for 4-6 hrs. Then wrap in some bacon.i have 6 breasts with no skin. For the brine, I used 1tbs kosher, 1 tbs sugar in the raw, a little red wine vinegar, some basil and thyme. Results to follow.
