Here is a basic recipe. A lot of folks start with a basic recipe like this one and then start tweaking it to their personal taste.
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

OK, I've got the hickory and all the other ingredients. Do I just rub it on the breasts and I'm good to go?
Maximum temp is 250...should I max it out?
How long should I smoke it? Should I just test the middle of the breast every half hour and see if it's a certain temp, or should I just look for that nice white color?
If this works I'm going to post a picture.

I run my cooker at 250 for everything except fish and sausage. Breats eh, bet they take less than 1.5 hours. , maybe an hour. I'd put a thin layer (misters work good) of EVOO then douse with rub. Just my .02

For chicken breasts, I just sprinkle it on. If you use the rub above, don't go to heavy, it might overpower the chicken. You can always put more on the next time you cook some.
I would max the smoker temp at 250. I did 12 breasts the other day and it took about 1 1/2 hours for the chicken to reach 167, which is when I pulled them off. When you measure the chicken temp, measure it in the thickest part of the breast. Since you are using a cookshack, I would only use 1 chunk of wood for this cook. I don't know how much of a smoke flavor you like, but chicken takes on smoke pretty easy.
Good Luck and post the pics.
