- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika

Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are coated well.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds with a fork.
Remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and place them on a cutting board.
Use two forks to shred the chicken into small pieces.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir it into the juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
Serve immediately in your favorite recipes or store in an airtight container with some of the juices for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
