Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. In a casserole, heat the oil and butter, add the onion and soften over a low-medium heat, stirring, for 8-10 minutes. Add the rice, kale and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Increase the heat, add the wine, bubble until absorbed, then pour in the stock. Slice the chicken, stir into the pan and season.
