Prepare chicken breast by patting dry and coating both sides of the chicken breast with olive oil, sea salt flakes, and rub.
Place the chicken breasts in the smoker, cover and cook for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature of the thickest part (using an instant-read digital thermometer) reaches 160F.
Remove the chicken breast from the smoker, wrap up in foil, and let rest till the temperature reaches 165 F.

Notes
Tips
If you brine the chicken remember this brine recipe uses sea salt flakes, not regular table salt.
If you want your chicken breast to cook at the same rate, then make sure that they are the same size.
You can serve the chicken breast straight up without the extra sauce rubbed on. The choice is yours.
