  1. In a large oven-proof stock pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. 
  2. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute for 10 minutes or until softened.
  3. Add the garlic, zucchini, diced tomatoes with juice, paprika, and chili flakes, and saute for 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. Add the rice and broth, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Preheat the broiler while the rice is cooking. Add the artichokes, chickpeas, salt, and pepper. Cover the pot and simmer for 10 to 15 more minutes.
  6. When the liquid is mostly absorbed and the rice is tender, transfer the pot to the broiler for 5 to 10 minutes, until the edges of the rice begin to brown and get a bit crispy. Remove from the broiler and serve.
