Lamb Chops with Balsamic Reduction

Ingredients

• 0.75 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoons dried basil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 lambs chops , 3/4 inch thick
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cups minced shallots
• 0.33 cups aged balsamic vinegar
• 0.75 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Mix rosemary, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; rub onto chops, coating both sides. Place chops onto a plate, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chops in the hot skillet until no longer pink in the center, about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.

4. 4

   Add shallots to the skillet; cook and stir until just browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour vinegar into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add broth; cook and stir until sauce has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove sauce from the heat and stir in butter until melted.

6. 6

   Serve over chops. Enjoy!
