- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this a quick and easy meal to pull together, though a few noted the number of steps felt involved for a smaller dish.

- Portions: Several reviewers noted the portions felt on the smaller side and suggested pairing with a side dish to make it a more complete meal.
