From the Test Kitchen

To give the filling for these sandwiches delicious depth of flavor, we’re tossing shredded chicken together with juicy fresh peach and tangy-sweet barbecue sauce, then topping it all off with briny pickle chips. A vibrant coleslaw served on the side perfectly balances the sandwiches’ richness.
