Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups barbecue sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot.
In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, chicken broth, diced onion, minced garlic, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
