- 1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the onion and green bell pepper into thin strips. Measure out Buffalo sauce, beef broth, garlic powder, and paprika for easy assembly.
- Layer Ingredients in the Slow Cooker: Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with sliced onions, bell peppers, Buffalo sauce, beef broth, garlic powder, and paprika to allow flavors to meld as it cooks.
- Cook on Low: Set slow cooker to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
