Big Batch Jambalaya

found this in the Tast of Home magazine that I get. I have skipped the shrimp when I have made this and added additional chicken. I also use brown rice.

1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
3 tablespoons Crisco® Pure Olive Oil, divided
1/2 pound cubed fully cooked ham
1/2 pound smoked kielbasa or Polish sausage, cubed
2 medium green peppers, coarsely chopped
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) beef broth
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1-1/2 cups water
3/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1-1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Directions
In a Dutch oven, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon oil until no longer pink; remove and set aside. In the same pan, cook and stir the ham, kielbasa, peppers and onions in remaining oil until onions are tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.


Stir in the broth, tomatoes, water, mustard, parsley, Worcestershire, cayenne and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add rice and return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in shrimp and chicken; cook 2-4 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink. Yield: 13 servings (1 cup each).
