Why Make This Recipe

Making breaded lamb chops is a great choice for several reasons. First, they are easy to prepare, allowing you to enjoy a home-cooked meal without spending hours in the kitchen.

How to Make Breaded Lamb Chops

Ingredients:

• 1-2 pounds lamb chops
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil, for frying
• Optional: Fresh parsley, dried herbs, lemon wedges

Directions:

1. Start by patting the lamb chops dry with a paper towel. Season them with salt and pepper.
2. Set up three bowls: fill one with flour, another with the beaten egg, and the third with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic.
3. Take each chop and dredge it in flour first, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it in the egg, allowing any extra to drip off. Finally, coat the chop with the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb chops to the skillet.
5. Fry the chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Transfer the cooked lamb chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off the excess oil.
7. Let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. You can garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

How to Serve Breaded Lamb Chops

Serve the breaded lamb chops hot, with a side of your favorite vegetables or a fresh salad. They pair well with mashed potatoes, rice, or even a light pasta dish. Drizzling some lemon juice over the chops can add a refreshing touch.

How to Store Breaded Lamb Chops

If you have leftovers, allow the lamb chops to cool completely before storing them. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate. They will keep well for 3-4 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over low heat until warmed through, or use an oven to maintain their crispiness.

Tips to Make Breaded Lamb Chops

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve that golden crust.
• For extra flavor, try adding your favorite dried herbs to the breadcrumb mixture.
• Letting the lamb chops rest after frying ensures they remain juicy.

Variation

If you’re looking to switch things up, you can try using different types of meat, such as chicken or pork. You can also experiment with different spices in the breadcrumbs or try coating the chops in crushed nuts for added crunch.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen lamb chops for this recipe?
