Step 1
Set smoker to 250F and start up the smoke using wood of choice (Hickory, Maple, Cherry all work well)
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, gently slice a pocket into each chicken breast. Try and slice as deep into the chicken as you can without coming through the other side.
Step 3
Stuff the chicken with some of the diced chorizo and grated cheese making sure the same amount goes into each chicken.
Step 4
Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts.
Step 5
If desired, wrap 2 slices of bacon around each chicken breast.
Step 6
If you are not wrapping the chicken with bacon, tie up the chicken breast with string.
Step 7
Place chicken breasts in the smoker.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the smoker when it reaches 160-165F, about 3 hours. Personally, I pull the chicken at 160F because it seems to climb a few more degrees even after it has been taken out of the smoker.
Step 9
Serve.
