Seared Herb Lamb Chops

I love lamb chops. They are a great source of meat that are full of lots of flavor. These chops are super easy to make. They pair well with almost anything especially herbs. This recipe is perfect for serving a large crowd in the summer. And they don’t take much time of effort to cook.
