I still remember the first time I tasted Dunkin’ Donuts Ancho Chipotle Sauce. It was at a friend’s house during a casual lunch get-together. We were chatting and swapping stories, all while trying different snacks.

Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast halves cut into ½-inch strips
  • 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper julienned
  • 2 smoked chipotle peppers
  • ½ teaspoon of ancho chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon of dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 4 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup of plain nonfat yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons of finely chopped green onions
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1 tablespoon of lime juice
  • 1 cup of shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup of grated white cheddar cheese
  • 4 Subway sandwich rolls

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Gather all your ingredients. This will make your cooking process smoother. Chop the onions, julienne the bell pepper, and cut the chicken into strips. If you have a blender, this is the time to bring it out!

Step 2: Saute the Vegetables

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they soften. Stir frequently to avoid burning. This step builds a fantastic flavor base.

Step 3: Blender Time

  • In a blender, combine the softened vegetables, smoked chipotle peppers, ancho chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, and cumin. Blend everything until it forms a smooth paste. Sometimes, you may need to add a splash of water to assist in blending.

Step 4: Mix in the Cream

  • Once blended, return the mixture to the skillet. Lower the heat and add the peanut butter, yogurt, honey, and lime juice. Stir the mixture until all ingredients come together beautifully. This creamy sauce is what you’ve been waiting for.

Step 5: Season and Adjust

  • Taste the sauce. Adjust with sea salt and black pepper as desired. This is your moment to fine-tune the flavor. If you want more heat, toss in another chipotle pepper.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve your Ancho Chipotle Sauce over freshly cooked chicken or as a dipping sauce for your favorite snacks. Enjoy every last drop!

Notes

  • Balance the Heat: If you like a milder sauce, reduce the number of chipotle peppers you add.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh spices and herbs can enhance the overall flavors. Don’t skimp on quality.
  • Experiment: Feel free to replace chicken with shrimp or vegetables for a different twist.
  • Store It Right: If you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container. It will keep well in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Serve Cold: For an enjoyable pairing, consider serving the sauce cold with fresh veggies.
