Instructions

Place all ingredients except the chicken breasts into a gallon sized Ziploc bag. Seal and shake to combine.
½ cup water, ⅔ cup red wine vinegar, 3 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Open the Ziplock bag and add the four boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Reseal the bag and set in a bowl in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or overnight.
Preheat your Traeger grill to 225℉. Be sure to oil the grill grates so the chicken doesn't stick.
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the Traeger grill and smoke the chicken breasts for 2-2 ½ hours, covered, flipping once. Check to ensure each chicken breast reaches an internal temperature of 165℉ with an instant read thermometer probe.
PRO TIP: If you don't have a Traeger grill, you can smoke the chicken breasts in a smoker or on a grill over indirect heat.

Notes

Preheat your Traeger grill to 225℉.
Smoke the chicken breasts at a low temperature (225℉) for the best flavor.
Let the chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
