I’m all about anything with Michael Symon, I would love to meet him one day! This was just an ok dish for us. While I thought it was good, I had to add more goat cheese to taste it and it needed a sprinkle of seasoning to kick it up and enhance the flavors. I would make it again, except make the changes above. We also used leftover smoked chicken instead of roasted chicken, which dominated the dish with a smoky flavor.

While you are waiting for the water to boil, pour the cream into a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the rosemary and garlic to the cream and bring it to a simmer – take care not to let it boil over. Allow the cream to reduce by about half.
