- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup diced vegetables (like carrots, bell peppers, or onions)

Instructions
Preparation
- Ensure your crockpot is clean and ready for use.
- Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Pour in the chicken broth for moisture and flavor.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create a seasoning blend.
- Drizzle the seasoning mix over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Layer diced vegetables on top of the chicken.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
Finishing
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C). If not, cook for another 15-30 minutes.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks directly in the crockpot, mixing it with the broth and vegetables.
