Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to make an herb paste.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 8 lamb chops and rub the herb mixture evenly over both sides of each chop.
  3. Step 3: Place the lamb chops on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked to medium-rare (145°F internal temperature), turning halfway through.
  4. Step 4: While lamb cooks, stir together 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Step 5: Remove lamb from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with a dollop of the mint yogurt sauce.
