Chicken Chili Thrived Up

What I have loved to do lately is take yummy recipes I find online and then make them super easy by using THRIVE ingredients. Last night I took this recipe HERE for Crockpot Chicken Taco Chili and added THRIVE ingredients where I could. Less chopping! It turned out super delicious!! I just had to add more water to help with the reconstituting of the Thrive ingredients and it saved me so much time cooking with THRIVE!! The more I cook using THRIVE, the more I love it!!
