Take note
Be careful not to overcook the lamb chops, as they can become tough and dry. Also, make sure to handle the hot pan and oven with caution to avoid any burns.

1

Preheat the oven and season the lamb chops

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.

2

Prepare the herb crust mixture

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley), and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined. This delicious herb crust will add a beautiful aroma and extra crunch to your lamb chops.

3

Coat the lamb chops with the herb crust

Press the herb crust mixture onto both sides of each lamb chop, making sure to coat them evenly. Gently press the mixture onto the chops to help it adhere.

4

Cook the lamb chops on the stovetop

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and swirl it around to coat the bottom. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the lamb chops in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust.

5

Finish cooking in the oven

Transfer the skillet with the lamb chops to the preheated oven. Allow them to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remember, the internal temperature of the chops should be around 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

6

Rest and serve

Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy chops. Serve the herb-crusted lamb chops with your favorite sides and enjoy!
