"Recipe source: Smokin' cookbook. This recipe uses a smoker but it can be improvised using a regular gas grill -- you can add a smoke box and wood chips and close the grill cover while you cook the chicken. It will also be great just using a regular gas or other barbecue grill with the cover closed."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
To make the pipérade: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and then add the ham and cook, stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in onions along with the salt and pepper and cook until softened (5-10 minutes). Stir in the bell pepper strips and season with salt. Turn heat down to medium low and cook, stirring often, for about 30 minutes or until peppers are tender.***This can be made several hours ahead and reheated over low heat.
Step 2
To smoke the chicken pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels . Massage the herb rub into both sides of the chicken. Set up smoker using wood chips and smoke the chicken until it registers 170 degrees -- taking about 20-30 minutes.
Step 3
Reheat the pipérade if necessary and serve chicken in the pipérade.
Step 4
To make the mushroom herb rub: grind all the rub ingredients (dried mushrooms - sugar) in an electric spice mill.
