1

Gather the ingredients

Before we embark on this epic lamb chop journey, let's make sure we have all the necessary ingredients. You'll need: - 4 lamb chops - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped - 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped - 2 cloves garlic, minced - Salt and pepper, to taste - 2 tablespoons olive oil

2

Prepare the herb crust mixture

In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. This fragrant herb mixture will be the star of our lamb chops!

3

Coat the lamb chops

Take each lamb chop and generously coat both sides with the herb mixture. Make sure to press the crumbs firmly onto the chops, ensuring a flavorful and crispy crust.

4

Heat up the skillet

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Let it heat up for a minute or two until the oil shimmers. We want the chops to sizzle when they hit the pan, creating that beautiful crust.

5

Sear the lamb chops

Carefully place the coated lamb chops in the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden brown crust. This step ensures a mouthwatering sear and locks in all the juicy goodness.

6

Finish in the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the seared lamb chops to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Let them cook for an additional 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your desired level of doneness.

7

Let them rest

Once the lamb chops are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in tender, succulent chops.

8

Serve and impress

Plate your herb-crusted lamb chops and get ready to impress your guests! These tantalizing chops pair wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes. Bon appétit!
