Pellet Grill Recipes Chicken Breasts
This Easy Traeger Smoked Chicken Breast recipe is prepared using boneless breasts, a marinade, dry rub, or whatever you like. This chicken can be made with any smoker or pellet grill using the perfect temperature.
Since chicken breasts are low in fat and tend to be a little on the dry side, I like to use both a marinade and a spice blend or rub to add flavor to the chicken. You can do whatever you like.
The purpose of a dry rub is to create a crust around the chicken or meat. A dry rub will enhance the flavor of the chicken without using moisture or a liquid marinade. Rubs are usually a little more coarse than simply adding seasoning.

The main difference between a dry rub and a marinade is the absence of moisture. A marinade will tenderize the meat. A dry rub does not. I like to use soy sauce to marinate and tenderize the meat and then follow it up with my Dry Rub for Chicken recipe. Feel free to use your favorite chicken rub.
This is a recipe for smoked breasts, so you will want to cook the chicken low (heat) and slow at 225 degrees.
Smoke until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. This can take 1-2 hours. Use a probe or meat thermometer to test the internal temperature. Insert the meat thermometer or probe into the thickest part of the chicken breast.

The best way to reheat leftover chicken is in the oven or air fryer on 350 degrees until warm. You can use the microwave, but it will dry out the chicken faster than the oven or air fryer. You can also store leftover chicken in olive oil to keep it moist.

I made this chicken to have with salads or rice bowls for east meals this week. It was very easy to make. I’m assuming it was delicious because my husband ate it all. If you see an abandoned husband on the side of the road you know why 😒 He said it was delicious! And has taken it for lunch everyday this week. Definitely making it again.This easy Traeger Chicken Breasts recipe features marinated chicken breasts cooked low and slow on a pellet grill.

Chicken breasts are known to be an easy-to-cook and flexible protein you can infuse with many different flavors. But, just like with my Traeger Chicken Thighs, this Traeger Chicken Breasts recipe takes this simple cut of chicken over the top!
This recipe begins by marinating chicken breasts in my simple Greek marinade so every bite has a refreshing pop of tart citrus. From there, the marinated chicken breasts make their way to the pellet grill to cook low and slow. Smoking chicken on a Traeger pellet grill infuses the meat with natural, wood-fired flavors that you can’t get from baking, sous vide, or air frying.
How To Make Traeger Grilled Chicken Breast
The smoked chicken breasts are always juicy with layers of mouthwatering flavors that no one can resist. Enjoy them for summer dinners, potlucks, or anytime you’re ready to fire up the pellet grill!
Whisk the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and add the chicken breasts to a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, then place it in the fridge to marinate.
Once it’s done marinating, place the chicken on the preheated Traeger (or other pellet grill) and grill until the breasts are cooked through.

Transfer the grilled chicken to a clean plate and tent it with foil. Set it aside to rest before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
The beauty of this smoked chicken recipe is its flavor possibilities. You can turn up the flavor by changing the marinade, rubbing the chicken with a seasoning blend, or basting the chicken with sauce while it’s cooking. These delicious ideas will help you get started:
At a minimum, you should marinate the chicken breasts between 30 minutes to 2 hours. But to give them an even more intense flavor, leave them in the marinade for 4 to 24 hours.

Boneless and skinless chicken breasts (of a 1-inch thickness) will take around 15 to 20 minutes to cook at 400ºF. Bone-in chicken breasts or thighs will take approximately 30 to 40 minutes to cook. Just keep in mind that these cooking times may vary based on the size and thickness of the chicken.
You’ll know they’re done cooking when their internal temperature reaches 165ºF. To check the temperature, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breasts as they’re cooking.
I highly recommend serving the smoked chicken breasts with a delicious sauce drizzled on top! My Creamy Green Sauce and Jerk Sauce are two of my favorites, but any of these 25+ Delicious Sauces for Chicken will pair well.

Did you end up with leftover chicken? Chop or shred the leftover cooked chicken breasts and put them to use in any of these dishes:
Store the leftover chicken breasts in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. They also freeze well for 3 to 4 months. Before reheating, let the chicken thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
If you have extra unused marinade, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Any leftover used marinade must be discarded as it can contain harmful bacteria from the raw meat.
