I love the combination of sweet and savory in this dish. The peach glaze is the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and it pairs perfectly with the savory chicken.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The glaze really added a lot of flavor.
