Traeger Smoked Chicken Breasts

Let’s get to the star of the show: the chicken! You’ll want to make sure you have the following ingredients on hand before you embark on this crispy-skinned adventure. So go ahead, write a grocery list—or simply memorize it like a chicken whisperer!

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (if you want a kick!)

Instructions

Prep Time: Start by preheating that Traeger grill to 225°F. Trust us, it’s the perfect temperature for smoking chicken. Not too hot, not too cold—just right for deliciousness!
Rub-a-dub-dub: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. This is your secret weapon for flavor! Rub this mixture all over your chicken breasts like you’re giving them a spa day.
On the Grill: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill grates. Close the lid and let those beauties smoke away for about 2 to 2.5 hours. You’re looking for an internal temperature of 165°F, which is a fancy way of saying, “done and delicious!”
Rest, Baby, Rest: Once they reach the magical temperature, pull those birds off the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring your chicken is juicy enough to make you want to do a little dance!
Slice and Serve: After waiting (im)patiently, slice the chicken and serve it up hot. Pair it with your favorite sides and get ready for the compliments to roll in. Who knew you were such a grill master?

And there you have it! Tender, smokin’ hot chicken breasts that’ll make you the envy of the neighborhood. Perfect for dinner parties, backyard barbecues, or a self-indulgent meal on a Tuesday night—because why not treat yourself? Enjoy!
