Preparation
  1. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer for even cooking.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, olive oil, and dried herbs. This creates a flavorful sauce for the chicken.
  3. Pour the flavorful broth mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are nicely coated.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  2. Once the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, shred it using two forks.
  3. Stir it gently with the sauce before serving to maximize flavor.

Notes

Consider adding chopped vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or bell peppers to the crock pot for a complete meal. Experiment with different herbs and spices for varied flavors. Cooked chicken can be frozen for up to 3 months.
