Chicken in Lemon Wine Sauce

INGREDIENTS
2    tablespoons butter
2    tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½   cups dry white table wine
1    tablespoon Dijon or grainy mustard
1    teaspoon dried marjoram
¼   cup lemon juice, or juice from one lemon
1    pound skinless, boneless chicken tenders or breast halves

METHOD
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the flour. Stir to combine and thicken then add the wine in small batches, stirring it in to the mixture. Stir in the mustard, marjoram and lemon juice making sure they are well combined.

Cut the chicken into 2 inch cubes and add into the skillet. Turn the pieces so they are well covered, cover the skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.

As the chicken is cooking, prepare ½ pound of your favorite pasta according to package directions. When the chicken is done, place the pasta on a serving dish, top with the chicken and sauce and serve immediately.
