Ingredients You’ll Need

1 tablespoon dried herbs de Provence or dried rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh herb of choice (rosemary or parsley), chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon dry white wine (such as Chardonnay)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
8 lamb loin chops (1” thick), trimmed
Cooking spray or olive oil (for the grill or pan)

How to Make Herb Grilled Lamb Chops

Step 1: Whip Up the Marinade

Whisk until smooth and fragrant. This marinade is the secret to flavor-packed lamb chops!
In a small bowl, combine the dried herbs de Provence (or rosemary), fresh herbs, Dijon mustard, olive oil, white wine, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.

Step 2: Marinate the Lamb

Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or resealable bag.
Pour the marinade over the chops, making sure they’re fully coated.
Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

Step 3: Fire Up the Grill (or Pan)

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.

Step 4: Grill to Perfection

Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or 5-6 minutes per side for medium).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

Transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. This locks in the juices and ensures tender, succulent meat.
Garnish with extra fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.

Tips for Success

Don’t skip the marinade: It’s the key to infusing the lamb with flavor.
Room temperature lamb: Let the chops sit out for 15-20 minutes before grilling for even cooking.
Don’t overcook: Lamb is best enjoyed medium-rare to medium. Overcooking can make it tough.

What to Serve with Herb Grilled Lamb Chops

Classic sides: Pair with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a crisp arugula salad.
Wine pairing: Serve with a glass of the same dry white wine used in the marinade (Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc).
For a crowd: Double the recipe and serve with a charcuterie board for a full spread.

How to Store and Reheat

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Warm in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
