Our Creamy Lemon Meatball recipe was so popular that we adapted it for rich and hearty pork chops. In this version, we use the same flavorful Boursin sauce seasoned with lemon zest and fresh herbs, but we subbed orzo for egg noodles because we loved the way the pasta absorbed the Boursin sauce. Garnish with extra fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon for a vibrant and delicious dinner.
Creamy Lemon Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 2 (7 oz) pork chops, vacuum sealed
- ½ package Boursin cheese
- 1 lemon, zested
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 4 oz orzo
- ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or chives
Directions
1) Place 2 pork chops in a Suvie pan, cover with water, and place in the bottom zone of Suvie.
2) Whisk 1/2 package Boursin and 3/4 cup chicken broth together in a second Suvie pan and insert into the top zone of your Suvie. Input settings, and cook now or schedule.

4) After the cook, remove pans from Suvie. Whisk zest from 1 lemon into the Boursin mixture. Remove pork chops from packaging, pat dry, and transfer to pan with Boursin, turning to coat in sauce. Transfer pork chops to a cutting board, allowing excess sauce to drip back into the pan.
5) Add orzo to Boursin mixture, stirring to incorporate. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide orzo between plates and top with pork chops. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.

Please update this recipe to work with Suvie 2.0
Hi Nora, to make this in Suvie 2.0 you can use the same Sous Vide settings as the original recipe and cook the orzo in the Suvie Starch Cooker for 13 minutes.
Well I made this and the pork chops were not done, had to finish cooking them on the stove. The sauce never thickened it was really watery. This recipe needs to be checked. I followed it exactly. Unless there is something wrong with my Suvie. Thanks
Hi Susan, thanks for your feedback. The pork chops should be perfectly pink inside and temping at 140°F after one hour, but we’ve tacked on an additional half hour to the cook time to make sure they’re cooked through. We’ve also reduced the amount of broth to 3/4 based on your recommendation. Thanks for letting us know.
