Instructions

Place chicken, rice, onion, garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and chicken broth into the crockpot.
Gently stir to ensure everything is submerged in the liquid.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours until the rice is tender and chicken shreds easily.
Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return shredded chicken to the rice mixture for extra flavor.
