Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the top of the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth into the crockpot, making sure not to wash the seasonings off the chicken.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot or leave it whole, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately, or let it cool to store for meal prep.
