Place the chicken into the slow cooker, and pour over the chicken broth. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (DON'T ADD THE VEGETABLES YET).
Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours.
After the chicken has cooked, add the sliced vegetables on top of the cooked chicken. Sprinkle the vegetables with a touch of salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 1.5 hours more.
With 2 forks shred the chicken.
Using tongs place the meat onto hoagies (tap as much liquid off the meat before placing on the bread), and top with cheese. Place the sandwiches open-faced under the broiler in the oven to toast the buns and melt the cheese.
ENJOY!

Notes
How can I make these into chicken French dip sandwiches?Add 3 cups of chicken broth instead of one. Then when the cooking time is up, strain the juices and serve those juices in little bowls. Dip your sandwiches into the chicken au jus.Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts? Yes, be sure to trim the fat off the thighs well before cooking.Note- This recipe can be adjusted for the length of time you won't be home. Example: Cook the chicken for 8 hours on LOW then add the veggies and cook for 1.5 hours more on HIGH.Nutritional values don't include rolls and cheese
