Creating Savory Slow-Cooked Crockpot Chicken is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Begin by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
2. Sear the Chicken: In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until golden brown. Set aside.
3. Prepare Vegetables: In the same pan, add diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Combine Ingredients: In your crockpot, add sautéed onions, garlic, baby carrots, and bell pepper. Stir to combine.
5. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables.
6. Pour Broth: Carefully add the chicken broth into the crockpot.
7. Layer the Chicken: Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetable mixture.
8. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
9. Shred Chicken (optional): Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks to absorb more flavors if desired.
10. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a burst of color and freshness.
