MARINATED LEMON, THYME AND GARLIC LAMB CHOPS
Made this for dinner last night and it was awesome! I used shoulder lamb chops, but any cut will do. Came out very tender and moist on the barbecue grill. This same recipe can also be used to marinate chicken or pork. It is delicious!

Tips:
- To ensure the lamb chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The lamb chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also cook the lamb chops until the juices run clear when you pierce them with a fork.
- To prevent the lamb chops from drying out, baste them with the lemon-thyme butter every few minutes while they are cooking.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the lamb chops in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Serve the lamb chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
This Lemon and Thyme Lamb Chops recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy lamb. The lemon and thyme add a bright and flavorful touch to the lamb, and the chops are cooked to perfection. This recipe is sure to impress your friends and family, and it's a great way to enjoy a special occasion meal.
