Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts Boneless and skinless recommended for best results.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Low-sodium broth can be used for a healthier option.
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust according to preference.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Place chicken breasts in the crockpot: Lay them flat to ensure even cooking.
  2. Pour chicken broth over the chicken: This will keep the chicken moist and infuse it with flavor.
  3. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper: Sprinkle evenly to coat the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook: Set the slow cooker on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender.
  5. Shred the chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing it with the juices.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, consider adding diced vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers, or try different spices to customize the dish. Leftover chicken can be frozen for later use.
