Preparation

Step 1

In a skillet combine ground chicken, onion, thyme and salt. Stir-fry until the ground chicken is no longer pink. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
Mix egg and sour cream. Stir into meat mixture.
Fill tart shells and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden brown.
Serve warm topped with Cranberry Salsa.

Cranberry Salsa

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse on/off until the mixture is chopped (not pureed).
Cover and chill for at least two hours to allow the flavours to blend.

Cranberry Salsa will keep in the fridge for about a week.
