Coat the chicken in 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season well. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the chicken, skin-side down, until the skin is golden, about 8-10 mins. Flip and cook for a further 8-10 mins until cooked through. Set aside on a plate to rest for 5 mins, then cut into slices.Step 2
Tip the garlic, stock and butter beans into the pan and gently simmer for a few minutes until the stock has almost reduced completely. Remove from the heat and season to taste.Step 3
Meanwhile, combine the lemon juice with the kale in a bowl. Massage the juice into the leaves using your hands until the leaves have softened, about 2-3 mins. Toss in the dill, radicchio, parmesan and remaining olive oil. Season well and tip onto a serving platter. Top with the garlicky beans and chicken.
