    I'm trying to hide the picker field after filling it so the user can't edit it. Any ideas how to extend your code with such function?

    I had to change two things to get this code to work for me. I had make sure the people picker javascript library was loaded by calling
    SP.SOD.executeFunc('clientpeoplepicker.js', 'SPClientPeoplePicker', function () { // rest of code here });

    And I had to it appears SharePoint changed the naming convention for the Input field, so I used $("div[title='"+fieldName+"']").find("input"); to retrieve it instead of $("input[title='" + fieldName + "']");
