How to Make Honey Garlic and Herb Glazed Lamb Chops

1. Pat the lamb chops dry with kitchen paper towels then add them to a bowl. Season with salt, black pepper, onion powder and paprika. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. 

2. Remove the chops from the fridge and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Place a non stick frying pan or skillet on a medium to high heat then add the butter to the pan.

3. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the lamb chops to the pan. Sear for 2 – 3 minutes per side for medium-rare or 4 – 5 minutes for well done. If your chops are really thick then they will need longer. Remove the lamb from pan and set aside then reduce the heat to low.

4. Add all the sauce ingredients to a small bowl then mix well and pour into the pan. Allow to simmer on a low heat for 2 - 3 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened then return the lamb to the pan, spooning the glaze over them to coat. Turn off the heat and allow to stand for 2 minutes then serve with your favourite side.
