This Greek-inspired dish is absolutely delicious. These lamb chops are loaded with tenderness and flavor. Fast enough for a weeknight meal and fancy enough for company. These chops will quickly become one of your favorite go-to staples. 

Ingredients

  • 8 lamb loin or rib chops

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil

  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps to Make It

  1. Combine olive oil, thyme, basil, rosemary, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a bowl. Dip lamb chops into the mixture to coat evenly. Cover chops and refrigerate for as little as 30 minutes or for up to 4 hours.

  2. Preheat grill for medium high heat.

  3. Place chops on grill and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes per side or until temperature reaches between 145 to 155 F.

  4. Once cooked to desired doneness, remove chops from grill. Tent with foil and let meat rest for 5 minutes. Serve with grilled vegetables or your favorite side dishes. 

  5. Enjoy!
