How to Make the Best Lamb Chops
For this lamb chop recipe, you must sear the lamb chops in a pan with olive oil over higher heat on your stove top. Let the pan get hot and season the chops on both sides with salt and pepper before beginning the searing process
How to Serve
I will be rolling out this recipe for entertaining and maybe for my anniversary along with my easy homemade garlic bread recipe, southern baked macaroni and cheese, fried corn, jollof rice or red beans and rice.
It is the perfect dish for a special occasion, and like I said, the flavor is out of this world decadent.
How to Store and Reheat
To store leftovers, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate the chops and enjoy them within 3 days for the best flavor and safety.
When reheating the lamb chops, gently warm them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until heated through, ensuring they retain their moisture and flavor.

Wow Jocelyn, these lamb chops were fabulous! We raise our own lamb, chicken & turkey as well so we’re always looking for different recipes. We served these chops with broccoli and fried potatoes – fried sweet potatoes would have been much better but I made pie with them yesterday ?! What side dishes did you serve? Thanks very much, I’ll be keeping this recipe❣
