  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme (if using).
  2. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from pan and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  4. On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
  5. Layer the sliced chicken breast on top of the mayonnaise and mustard.
  6. Grate the mature cheddar cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the chicken.
  7. Top with the other slice of sourdough bread, buttered side up.
  8. Heat a clean frying pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  9. Transfer the sandwich to a baking tray and finish in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, to ensure the cheese is fully melted and the sandwich is heated through.
  10. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice in half and serve immediately.
