Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb chops
• 1 cup green chutney (coriander and mint blend)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 whole lemon, zested
• 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk the egg until beaten. This will act as the binder for the crust.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well to form a crumbly texture.

Step 5

Spread the green chutney evenly over both sides of each lamb chop.

Step 6

Dip each chutney-coated lamb chop into the beaten egg, ensuring it is well-coated.

Step 7

Press the egg-coated lamb chops into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the crust to ensure it sticks evenly.

Step 8

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the lamb chops for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan; work in batches if necessary.

Step 9

Transfer the seared lamb chops to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness (use a meat thermometer if needed; aim for 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare).

Step 11

Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately with your preferred side dishes.
