Directions
Season both sides of the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper.

Combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl to create a "paste."

Rub the paste on both sides of the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for an hour or more in the fridge.

Heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, once hot add in the lamb chops.

Sear until the surface is browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Rest lamb chops for 10 minutes before serving.

Serve with your favorite vegetable sides
