These lamb chops with garlic and rosemary are so flavorful — they really are the best! When your mother-in-law is 100% Greek, you know you will have to fix lamb chops for her son! This is her recipe and it always impresses guests. The chops are easy to cook in the oven and ready to serve in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 , 4 ounce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil , or as needed
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 0.5 tablespoons crushed fresh rosemary leaves
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cups mint jelly

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Cut away excess fat from lamb chops (some fat does add flavor). Coat each chop lightly in olive oil. Season lamb chops with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place lamb chops in a cast iron skillet.

  3. 3

    Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-well doneness.

  4. 4

    Remove from the oven and cover tightly with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with mint jelly on the side.
