Preparation The Jambalaya:
Pre-heat your oven to 350 Farenheit. Fry the bacon in a very big heavy pot on top of medium-high heat until the bacon is brown yet not yet crispy, stirring regularly, 8-10 min. Add the smoked sausage, andouille, and smoked ham. Cook till the meats begin to brown, approximately 10 minutes.
Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers. Cook until such time as the veggies start to soften, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Incorporate the chicken and cook until the chicken turns white, stirring frequently. Add in paprika, thyme, chili powder, and 1/4 tsp cayenne. Cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and chiles and beef broth and stir to incorporate well. Put in more cayenne, if you want. Stir in the rice.
Bring the jambalaya to a boil over high heat. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and put a lid on the pot. Place in the oven and bake till the rice is soft and excess juices are absorbed, 45 minutes. Take the lid off of the pot. Mix in chopped green onions and sprinkle jambalaya with cut parsley and serve hot.
