Remove the chicken and to the juices in the casserole add garlic, onions and green peppers, and sauté until onion is golden. Add bay leaf, whole tomatoes, and chicken broth. When the broth boils add salt, saffron and rice. Arrange chicken on rice, cover casserole and bake in a moderate oven (350°F) for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender. Add beans and artichokes during last 10 minutes of cooking.
