Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or use a crock pot liner for easy cleaning.
Add the chicken breasts in a single layer to the bottom of the crock pot.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot, mixing it well with the sauce. Alternatively, serve the whole chicken breasts with sauce spooned over them.
Serve warm over rice, in a sandwich bun, or paired with steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
