Prepare the smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using.

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.

Rub olive oil over the chicken breasts to coat evenly.

In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, mustard powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, and cumin to create a spice rub.

Generously apply the spice rub to the chicken breasts, ensuring full coverage.

Preheat the smoker to 225°F (107°C).

Place the soaked wood chips in the smoker box or directly on the coals, depending on your smoker type.

Once the smoker reaches temperature, place the chicken breasts on the grill grates.

Smoke the chicken breasts for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve the smoked chicken breast with your choice of sides.
