Recipe(tried): My own style Jambalaya!

This is a recipe that I prefer when I am not in the mood for a varied Men . This Jambalaya is more an Asopao than a real New Orleans style dish. Buen provecho!

JAMBALAYA:
4 to 6 servings

1 1/2 cups diced cooked ham (I use the type of ham that we use for cooking)
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup sliced celery
1 green pepper sliced as for fajitas
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tb good olive oil
1 can chicken broth
2 tomatoes chopped and processed (natural tomato sauce)
1 tsp brown sugar
3/4 cup water
2 chicken breasts, debonned and sliced
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
2 tb chopped cilantrillo
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp thyme
Worcestershire sauce to taste
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
(you can add sliced pork sausages)
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook the ham, onion, celery, green pepper and
garlic in a little oil in a pot (sufficient
space as for an asopao). Add all the remaining ingredients in the order given. Bring to a boil. Cover. Simmer for 50 minutes, stirring once or twice only. Serve in soup bowls garnished with chopped parsley.
