🛒 Ingredients

🍖 For the Lamb Chops

• 8–10 lamb chops
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• Salt, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

🧄🧀 For the Garlic Parmesan Coating

• 2 cups breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

🥚 For the Breading

• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ½ cup all-purpose flour

🍳 For Frying

• Vegetable oil or another neutral frying oil, as needed

🌿 Optional Garnish

• Chopped fresh parsley
• Extra grated Parmesan cheese
• Lemon wedges

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Season the Lamb Chops

Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and paprika if using. Let them rest for about 15–20 minutes while you prepare the coating.

2. Prepare the Parmesan Breadcrumbs

In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly so every bite gets plenty of cheesy, garlicky flavor.

3. Set Up the Breading Station

Place the flour in one bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Keep the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture in a third bowl.

4. Coat the Lamb Chops

Dip each chop into the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, coat it in the egg mixture, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly covered on all sides.

For an extra-crispy crust, gently press the breadcrumbs onto the meat and let the coated chops rest for 5–10 minutes before frying.

5. Fry Until Golden and Cooked

Heat about ½ inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Fry the chops in batches without overcrowding the pan, turning as needed until the coating is golden brown and the meat is cooked to your preference.

Cooking time depends on the thickness of the chops. Use a food thermometer to check the thickest part, away from the bone. For whole lamb chops, the USDA recommends a minimum internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), followed by a 3-minute rest.

6. Drain and Garnish

Transfer the cooked chops to a wire rack or a paper-towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley, then serve with lemon wedges for a bright, fresh finish. 🍋

💡 Tips for Extra-Crispy Lamb Chops

• Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter, crunchier crust.
• Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature.
• Keep the oil hot enough to brown the coating without burning it.
• For easier handling, use one hand for the dry ingredients and the other for the egg mixture.
• Let the chops rest for 3 minutes after cooking before serving.
