Smoked Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

I put these boneless skinless chicken breasts in the pellet grill for 25 min on smoke and finished at 325 which took about 1 hr 20 min total
to reach 165 internal. I made my own basic bbq rub using some good quality ancho chili powder along with other standard ingredients. The chicken breast were brined for 2 hrs, rinsed and dried with paper towel, rubbed, then set on the counter to come to room temp before going in the cooker. Many people have told me that you don’t want much smoke on your chicken and to that, I say, “to each his own”. Unless I have tasted it myself I have stopped taking things I hear like “don’t get too much smoke on your chicken” for granted.
