Smokin’ Harissa Chicken Breast

Ingredients

  • 6 Chicken Breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 3-4 Tbsp of Harissa paste (a spicy Moroccan sauce, if you’re not a fan of spice you can swap out for a BBQ sauce as well)

For the brine

Directions

  1. Dissolve together ingredients for the brine.
  2. Cover chicken breasts in brine and place in fridge to brine for a minimum of 4 hours. Overnight is best!
  3. Preheat Bradley Smoker with Oak Flavour Bisquettes to 122°C (250°F).
  4. Remove chicken from brine, rinse and pat dry.
  5. Slather chicken in Harissa paste.
  6. Smoke for 1-2 hours or until an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) is reached. After one hour has passed, watch the internal temperature and remove from the smoker just before hitting 74°C (165°F) and it will be just right!

  4. Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into the pockets of each chicken breast.
  5. Sprinkle the jerk seasoning all over the stuffed chicken breasts and gently rub spice into the meat.
  6. Make the glaze by blending the remaining ¼ cup apricot jam, scotch bonnet pepper and rum until smooth.  Set aside.
  7. Set the Smoker to 121°C (250°F) using Wood Bisquettes of choice (Oak, Maple or Hickory work great).
  8. Place the chicken breasts on smoker rack and put the rack in the Bradley Smoker.  Smoke the chicken until they reach an internal temperature of 73°C (165°F), about 4 hours.
  9. Midway through the smoking session, brush some of the glaze on the chicken.  Brush them again when the chicken comes out of the smoker.
