Rinse the chicken breast under cold water, pat it dry, and set it aside.
Chop the fresh tomatoes, onion, celery, and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the chicken breast to the bottom of a slow cooker.
Top the chicken with chopped tomatoes, onion, celery, and minced garlic.
Pour the sugar-free, low-sodium chicken broth and water over the chicken and vegetables.
Sprinkle paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) evenly over the ingredients.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on 'low' for 4 hours (240 minutes) or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F (74Β°C) and is tender.
After cooking, carefully shred or dice the chicken breast directly in the slow cooker using two forks to blend it with the stew.
Stir the stew to combine all the flavors and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve the stew warm in a bowl, optionally garnishing with freshly chopped parsley or a lemon wedge (HCG compliant).
