This pizza is topped with chicken breast, which tends to dry out easily, marinated in a spicy seasoning for 30 minutes and stir-fried. The seasoning made with hot sauce and gochujang cuts through the richness of the cheese, and since it is not overly spicy, it makes a great snack for the whole family. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 °C for 15 to 20 minutes to finish.
