This homemade smoked-style chicken is made by marinating boneless chicken breast in a lemon brine with seasonings, coating it with spices, and baking it at a low temperature. Serve it cold in slices at breakfast or pack it for a picnic.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Marinate

240 min

Rub the chicken breast with salt, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

2

Coat with spices

10 min

Coat the marinated breast well with ground red pepper, roll it tightly, and tie it with kitchen twine.

3

Bake

35 min

Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake in an oven preheated to 170°C / 340°F for about 35 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 75°C / 165°F.

4

Rest and slice

10 min

Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven, then cut it into thin slices and serve cold.

Reminder

Tie the chicken tightly into a roll so it keeps its shape while cooking. Do not slice it until you have measured its internal temperature; otherwise, the center may still be raw.
