Instructions

Combine the salt, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper in a small dish.
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Rub the seasonings and olive oil over the chicken breasts.
Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker.
Cook on HIGH for 2-4 hours, or on LOW for up to 8 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
Slice or shred the chicken breasts with two forks, by hand, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

Notes

Storage: Store crockpot shredded chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Allow your chicken to cool slightly before shredding but don't let it cool completely. Warm chicken is much easier to shred.
Stir in some of the juices/broth to the shredded chicken, to keep it moist.
If your crockpot is very full, remember, it will take longer to heat and cook.
Adjust seasoning to taste. If you want the chicken for various dishes don't go too heavy on spices and seasoning.
