    Remove all produce from any packaging or constraints, then thoroughly rinse and pat dry. Drain chicken breast and pat dry.

    Combine flour and tomatoes in one provided tray. Stir until no dry flour remains. Stir in marinara, 1/2 cup water, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, cream cheese, and a pinch of salt. Cream cheese will melt as meal heats.
