Simple Chicken Rub/Brine 4 Smoked boneless Chicken?

With such a thin cut, I dont want to over power the chicken, plus Im wanting to let a smoke really come through.

This will be my first smoke, once I get the Kettle in a week or two. And will be doing a garden this summer, and will have fresh, and fresh dried herbs. And wanting some feedback, on adjustments, if any, for smoking chicken?

What Ive been using for boneless chicken past few years:

Brine:

1 QT water

TBS Rosemarry

TBS Basil 

.5 Cup Apple Vinegar

.5 Dark Brown Surgar

TPS Kosher Salt

1-2 Cloves or 1 TBS Garlic powder

Rub:

.5 Cup Cavender's Greek

2 TBS Old Bay, Less Sodium

1 TBS Black Peper

.5 TBS Table Salt

Smoke: ??

Lump Charcoal, Ill see what I can get local?

Apple Wood Chips?

Thoughts?

I  use a modified Cornell Chicken marinade for both grilling and smoking:

½ cup veg. oil

½ cup white or apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp. poultry seasoning

2 eggs

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

I split the half boneless breasts either butterflied or in half in the marinade and shake well, then marinade at least 1 hour to over night.

Smoke at 250° to 275°, turning and basting at least once, usually more.  On the grill, the same, turning more often.  Cook to internal of 165°.  Delicious!
