Instructions

Preparation

1Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well to create the herb-crust marinade.
3Spread the herb-crust marinade evenly over both sides of each lamb chop. For best flavor, allow the chops to marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

Grilling

1Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F / 200-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
2Place the lamb chops on the hot grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer should register 135-140°F (57-60°C) for medium-rare.
3Remove the lamb chops from the grill and transfer them to a clean plate. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-7 minutes before serving.
