Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer.
Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour chicken broth over the chicken, then spoon BBQ sauce evenly over the top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred with two forks.
Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir into the sauce.
Let sit on WARM for 10–15 minutes to absorb the sauce.
Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve in your preferred style.

Notes
LOW and slow is always the preferred method — the chicken will be noticeably more tender than when cooked on HIGH.
Chicken thighs can be substituted 1:1 for an even juicier, more forgiving result.
Leftovers freeze beautifully for up to 3 months — portion into bags for instant weeknight meals.
