Instructions
- 1. Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- 2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
- 3. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- 4. About 10 to 15 minutes before cooking, remove the marinated lamb chops from the refrigerator.
- 5. Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 6. When the oil is hot, carefully add the lamb chops to the pan. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes for medium doneness.
- 7. Transfer the cooked chops to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
- 8. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the rested lamb chops and serve immediately.
