Preparation

Step 1

1. For Tartlets: Make the polenta according to package directions. Just before the polenta is finished thickening, add the cream, salt and pepper. Pour the polenta onto a greased, rimmed baking sheet. Set aside to cool and firm up, about 30 min.

2. For Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, pesto, salt and pepper to combine.

3. To assemble: Using 2 inch diameter scalloped cookie cutter, cut the polenta into tartlet shapes, about 24, and place them on a serving platter. Top each polenta tartlet with a spoonful of chicken mixture. Top chicken with a few dried cranberries. Serve.
