Steps:

First step: Get Epicurious to fix its recipe clipper. Then... In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with the ginger, cayenne, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 4 hours. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook over moderately high heat until golden and nearly white throughout, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add the onions and bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring and scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to moderate, cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the onions and peppers. Cover and cook for 5 minutes longer. Uncover and add the honey. Cook over high heat, stirring and turning the chicken breasts, until the honey caramelizes, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve right away.
