Pour the canned diced tomatoes (including their juice), tomato sauce, and chicken broth over the ingredients in the crock pot.
Stir in white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, and sugar.
Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture.
Stir gently to combine all ingredients without disturbing the meat at the bottom too much.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
Once cooked, remove the chicken and pork from the crock pot and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded meat to the crock pot and stir to combine with the vegetables and broth.

Serve the Brunswick Stew hot in bowls with your favorite bread or cornbread on the side.
