I am fully aware that this is not really traditional pizza, but I like calling it Chicken and Kimchi Pizza, so the name stays.
This is easy, tasty, and savory… Oh, this pizza is so gorgeous, my friends! Is it possible to ask for more? I don’t think so!
You can complete this in under 30 minutes without using any dough. Although you can buy store-bought or prepare your own dough.
I made advantage of tortillas. YES! That’s how easy it is.

The hardest thing was making chicken in a skillet, which is all I did. Everything else is similar to adding, cooking, and baking until deliciously golden.
You can use cooked chicken from the store, including rotisserie chicken.
Because cheese, kimchi, and chicken work so well together, I am confident that you won’t be dissatisfied with the flavor or taste of this dish.
Ingredients now… I am aware that not all of you have access to gochujang or Korean red chili paste.

However, I’m assuming that the majority of you do have access to Asian or International markets that sell Korean condiments or goods.
You can find gochujang and Kimchi in many stores, not just Asian. So take a look at the Int’l part of your grocery store, where you find soy sauce, and I am sure you will find both.
Also, you may use homemade or store-bought kimchi. I love making my own, but sometimes I feel lazy so I rather just get a jar and enjoy it!
I always keep a spare jar or container in the refrigerator so I can whip up some great Korean meals or prepare a quick stew. I mean, I just adore kimchi!
As for toppings, well, I love mushrooms, and sweet peppers in a combination of chicken, kimchi, and cheese, as well as slightly spicy gochujang mixed with thousand island dressing or condiment. You can use pizza sauce, however, I tried it with thousand islands and it was instant love.

With that being said, you can really use whatever you prefer, like, or have around. I even like adding softly fired egg. It tastes super tasty on this pizza.

Instructions
Cut chicken breast into thinner chicken strips, season with a bit of salt and peppers (a few pinches) OR Chicken Seasoning, and cook over a lightly greased pan for 5-7 minutes, or until done. You can use store-bought cooked grilled chicken, or grill it yourself. whatever works for you!
Preheat the oven to 375F. You can also make this in your air fryer.
Add gochujang aka Korean chili paste with pizza sauce or marinara sauce, whatever you have on hand and spread evenly on the tortilla. If you are low carb diet then use low carb tortilla.
Add cheese, and other toppings on the top.
Bake until the cheese is completely melted and edges of the tortillas start turning into a golden color, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven. Toss a few toasted sesame seeds on top along with chopped scallions and perhaps chili flakes, and serve with mayo, ranch dressing and/or salad.
Notes
When I say a fried egg, I meant you can serve a soft fried egg on top of this pizza.
Also, Yes to Mayo on pizza. If you never tried mayo on pizza then you're missing. My husband introduced me to it and I never looked back. It is not so unusual for Koreans to eat pizza with Mayo as well.
