• Fire up the smoker and pre-heat to 255 degrees F.
• Trim any unwanted parts off of the chicken breasts and rub them down with some Chicken BBQ Rub on each side. Place the block of cream cheese to a piece of foil.
• Once the smoker is pre-heated add on the chicken, the cream cheese, and the slices of bacon. Close the lid and let smoke at 225 degrees for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Pull the cream cheese off if its cooking to quickly (around an hour).
• Once the chicken is done, remove and shred. Raise the temperature of the smoker up to 300 degrees F. I let the bacon crisp up while I shredded the chicken. When the bacon is done, pull that off and chop it up.

For the smoked pasta

• Grab out a 9x13 dish or an aluminum pan. Add in the cooked pasta, milk, chicken broth, half the jalapeños, the garlic, half the bacon, the smoked chicken, some more BBQ rub, and half the cheese.
• Give everything a stir so that the liquids cover the entire dish and is well combined.
• Place the baking dish in the smoker and let cook for about 20 minutes. Stir again thoroughly, add in the rest of the cheese, jalapenos, and bacon on top and continue to cooke for 15-20 minutes longer until bubbling and hot throughout.
• When finished, let set for 10 minutes to let the sauce thicken up a bit. Serve with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy.

Oven instructions

• Cook the bacon in a skillet or in the oven, chop and set aside. Cook the chicken with your preferred method and shred ( or you can use rotisserie chicken as well).
• Add the cream cheese, broth, milk, and garlic to a skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the cream cheese is melted.
• If the skillet is large enough add in the cooked noodles, the cooked chicken, half the jalapeños, and half the cheese. (or just combine everything into the casserole dish). Give everything a stir then pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
