Nestle the chicken in the rice and let cook, uncovered, until the rice is quite al dente, about 15 minutes. Add the shrimp, chorizo, artichoke, red pepper, peas, garbanzos. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer for 8-10 minutes. If the stock is disappearing too quickly, just add a bit more of the remaining 2 cups. Increase heat to medium high so the rice on the bottom of the pan should form a brown crispy crust by the end of the cooking time, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and cover with foil for 5 min.
