Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Pour the cooked onion and garlic mixture over the chicken.
In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds with a fork.

Serve the pulled chicken on sandwich buns, topped with coleslaw mix for a crunchy texture.
