Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts flat at the bottom of the slow cooker.

Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken using a pastry brush.

Pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth around the chicken, not on top.

In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning to create a seasoning blend.

Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the chicken breasts.

Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours.

After 2 hours on high, check the chicken's internal temperature with a digital meat thermometer, ensuring it reaches at least 165°F.

Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving plate and let it rest before slicing.
