I gave this recipe a 5 because it lead to me to a masterpiece! Instead of using a graham cracker pie crust I made a Nilla Wafer pie crust (you can also buy the prepared ones from teh grocery store). To make the pie crust just crush about 34 Nilla Wafers, add 1 tablespoon white sugar, and 1/2 stick unsalted butter and press into a 9 inch pie dish. Set aside. Then mix 2 packages softened cream cheese, 1 13 ounce jar nutella, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and one egg. Don't really need sugar, it's pretty sweet. Mix all those ingredients and spread over pie crust. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let it cool for 10 minutes then put in the refrigerator for 7-8 hours, the longer the better. Garnish right before serving with fresh bananas and strawberries, or toasted hazelnuts, or whipped cream.. or a mixture of them all! :-) This got rave reviews! Thanks Laurabeatty for the wonderful idea.

Great base for a recipe, I took the advice of some reviewers and baked the chicken at 350 for 15-20 minutes in some of the marinade, and it came out really soft and flavorful. Then I layered the fresh mozzarella and baked for an additional 5 minutes. I then spread the basil chiffonade over the cheese and then the tomatoes. I took some of the baking juices from the dish and poured over the tomato layer. A little bit of salt pepper and put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes to get the tomatoes soft and to help mix the flavors. The balsamic is a very strong taste and overpowers the cheese, I may use a different cheese next time. Still very yummy.
