Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use bone-in lamb chops for added flavor.
• Don't overcook the lamb chops, as they will become tough.
• To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a chop. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 135°F (57°C).
• Let the packets rest for 5-10 minutes before opening to allow the juices to redistribute.
