Chop the chicken breast into bite size pieces; in a skillet over medium heat drizzle olive oil over chicken and add the dry seasonings; cook till done; 5-7 minutes; remove from heat and set aside
In a separate skillet over medium heat melt the butter; add the onions, celery and the leaves from the thyme; sauté till tender; 3-5 minutes; add the white wine and half the chicken broth and continue to simmer for 1-2 minutes
Pour this mixture along with the cooked chicken into a mixing bowl; add the bread crumbs and all but 2 Tablespoons of the cheese. Mix gently, add more chicken broth if needed. Mixture should be moist.
