Lemon Pepper Pork and Orzo
When I think of quick and easy Weekday Supper Meals, I immediately think of thinly sliced lemon pepper pork medallions. I love them because I can whip up a delicious meal for my family in minutes. Two minutes on each side and BOOM, you are done. When I heard about the New Sauté Express® Sauté Starter with seasoned butter and olive oil, I couldn’t wait to try it on thinly sliced pork. Easy Skillet Lemon Pepper Pork and Orzo came to mind. Let me start by telling you that my family is obsessed with my Pork Picatta Sauce. It really is delish but like most sauces, it takes time. It certainly is not a dish that I prepare on a night that we have to get the boys out the door to football practice. I was curious to see their reaction to this new quick and easy pork recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cubes Sauté Express® Sauté Starter Lemon Pepper Butter & Olive Oil Saute Starter
- 2 pounds thinly sliced Pork
- 1 pound Orzo Pasta
- 3 cups Chicken Broth
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Heat large skillet to medium heat
- Add 1 cube of Sauté Express® Sauté Starter Lemon Pepper Butter & Olive Oil
- Saute the Pork approximately 2 minutes on each side, until no longer pink
- Remove Pork from skillet and cover to keep warm
- Bring Chicken Broth to a boil in the skillet
- Add Orzo and cook for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the pasta is fluffy
- Stir in the remaining cube of Sauté Express® Sauté Starter Lemon Pepper Butter & Oli Oil and Parmesan Cheese
- Place the Pork on top of the Orzo Pasta and serve
My boys loved the Lemon Pepper Pork and Orzo and this dish is a keeper in our home!

Your lemon pepper pork would get thumbs up from my family, too! So quick and yummy!
Love, love this dish! Orzo is a favorite and no one can complain on one pot dishes!
I don’t eat pork nearly enough. This looks delicious and anything with orzo I am on board with!
Sounds like such a satisfying meal! I think the Lemon Pepper is my favorite!
I love pork but my husband could take it or leave it. This is one dish I am sure he would like very much. The lemon pepper flavor takes me back to my childhood. My parents would use lemon pepper seasoning on lots of things. So great it is one of the flavors of this new Saute Express line.
Okay, now your dish completes my dinner menu this week!
Love this fast pork dish! I have orzo left from my recipe + a pork tenderloin in the freezer. Just need to get a package of the Lemon Flavor Saute Express!
“Boom, you are done” is music to my ears during the week. I have no time for intricate meals during the week. This dish is perfect. Yum!
Looks super yummy, Isabel. I never think to do super thin chops in the frying pan, but I will now.
PS…Loooooove orzo! Totally an underrated pasta shape for quick cooking during the week.
I have only ever tried lemon pepper with fish and chicken. I cannot wait to try your recipe! This looks Yumm-O!
This is exactly the type of meal that I love for #WeekdaySupper! My oldest has practice and/or meets right after school and doesn’t get done until supper time (or waaaay later if it’s a meet), so being able to walk in the door and make a super-quick meal is very ideal. This sounds delicious…testing it out this week!
Your dish looks Fablicous. I would like to make it using the garlic and herb.
I am loving all the dishes this week. Quick and easy weeknight meals that can be made in less than 30 minutes. I love the flavor varieties and how you can make all kinds of dishes with this product. Need to go buy me some pork so I can make this dish this week.
This is a pork dish I really want to try out – it looks so fresh and flavorful! I think the lemon pepper saute starter sounds fantastic….
I’m definitely giving this product a try. I already mix butter and olive oil with spices, and talk about convenient! Wonderful looking dish, too!
Alaiyo
That looks very delish and oh so easy!! Yum!!
Such a fantastic, quick recipe. Love it!!!
Mmmmm…This looks fantastic Isabel!
I can’t wait to try this seasoning with Pork!! You make it look fantastic!
Look delicious!
Gah! That looks SO good!!! Now I’m hungry and we’re still hours away from dinner… I love how quick this is!
Yummy! Lemon Pork is such a great idea! Change up from chicken! I love it!
Yum! I bet it would work well with rice, too, for us gluten free folks!
In my case, great Wednesday dinner (the day I come home later). By the way, have a great week!
looks delicious and easy. Love your site too
Might have to try this recipe. Looks delish!
Very impressive, Isabel. A healthy gourmet that can be made quickly and tastes good.
P.s. You must be very proud too of your athletic football player sons.
We love pork for a quick & easy dinner too!! This sounds delicious!
