Italian Chicken Pepper Skillet

I found this recipe from the Apples for Health website. I thought it sounded pretty easy to make, and it didn't require a million ingredients.

Italian Chicken Pepper Skillet (4 servings at 4 points a piece)

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 half breasts)
3/4 teaspoon McCormick Italian Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon McCormick Ground Black Pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1/4 teaspoon McCormick Garlic Powder
3 tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey

Instructions:

Place chicken breast between 2 pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle on both sides with Italian Seasoning and Pepper.

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breast and cook 4 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in center. Remove to serving dish and keep warm.

Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in skillet. Add red and green bell peppers and garlic powder. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, or until bell peppers are tender. Spoon over chicken.

Add vinegar and honey to skillet. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Spoon over chicken and bell peppers.

This dish was very fragrant, but unfortunately I found the taste to be lacking. The husband and I both thought it was pretty bland, and were hoping for much more flavor. I think I will try it again, but try to pack more flavor into the dish and see how that turns out.
