Steps:
- Combine lemon juice, oil, oregano, and water in a large nonreactive baking dish. Rub lamb all over with salt and pepper, and place in marinade, turning to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 24 hours, turning once or twice.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat, as this will help them stay juicy during cooking.
- Season the chops well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to give the chops flavor. You can also marinate the chops for several hours or overnight to infuse them with even more flavor.
- Cook the chops over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the chops and create a nice crust, while keeping the inside juicy and tender. You can cook the chops in a skillet, on a grill, or under a broiler.
- Don't overcook the chops: Lamb chops are best when they are cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooked chops will be tough and dry.
- Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Lamb chops with oregano and lemon are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its tender meat, flavorful marinade, and crispy crust, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a lamb chop recipe, give this one a try!
