Description

This Family Favorite Lamb Chops with Mint recipe offers a simple yet elegant dinner, perfect for both weeknights and special occasions. Tender lamb chops are seasoned and pan-seared, then drizzled with a vibrant mint sauce that elevates the dish. Enjoy restaurant-quality mint lamb chops in the comfort of your own home!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Season the lamb chops generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the lamb chops in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  3. Sear the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more well-done.
  4. While the lamb chops are searing, prepare the mint sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth and chopped fresh mint leaves.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 5 minutes, allowing the mint flavor to infuse into the broth.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and lemon juice until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  7. Drizzle the mint sauce generously over the seared lamb chops. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose lamb chops that are about 1 inch thick for even cooking.
  • Ensure the lamb chops are dry before seasoning to help them sear properly.
  • Sear the lamb chops in batches to maintain the heat and achieve a perfect sear.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Medium-rare is around 130-135°F.
  • Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
