Instructions
Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Place the seared chicken breasts in the crockpot in a single layer.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken breasts.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 4 to 4 1/2 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
