1. In a large pot, over medium high add the chopped bacon, stir and allow to cook until bacon starts to render, about 5 minutes.
2. Add in the onion, butter and garlic, and allow to cook, stirring for 5 minutes.
3. After 5 minutes put in collard greens, about 1/3 at a time, alternating with little chicken stock at a time, allow to wilt then add next batch.
