Fuck Covid and Fuck The Republicans It Rode In On Chicken (recipe)

3 moderately freezer burned breasts of garlic chicken left over from when your partner was so flat in bed with Covid that you weren't sure whether they were going to get better but it was a "mild" case and they "didn't need" hospitalization or Paxlovid, reheated and chopped, possibly with kitchen shears
3 heaping slotted spoons of capers (less if you do not get your capers at Costco or the restaurant supply place)
1 jar Alfredo sauce
1 pound of an edgy pasta (we used gluten free rotini because that's what rotini we had)
1.5 tablespoons of World Market Lemon Pepper Garlic (and salt) spice mix, less if that's not your bag (baby) or you do not enjoy a very mild burn to the mouth from pepper
1 tablespoon (or more) butter
1 scant handful shredded cheddar cheese
A couple-five marinated half-artichokes, with the tough leaf edges trimmed off and left to the local artichoke enjoyer

Prepare pasta.
Drain pasta, reserving enough pasta water to rehydrate chicken a little more if it needs it.
Put pasta, sauce, lemon pepper, probably butter, probably cheese, and probably chicken back into pot (large pot!) to mix and heat through.
Reduce artichokes to 5mm-ish slices, then slice the heart as close to cubes as you're feeling (scissors help here too)
Mix in artichokes and capers

If you're a dragon who needs more spice, sprinkle some Montreal Steak Seasoning over the whole shebang.
