Special Precautions and Tips:

• When choosing lamb chops, look for chops that are well-marbled with fat. This will help them stay juicy during cooking.
• If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, thyme, and oregano instead.
• Be sure to let the lamb chops rest before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
