Lamb Chops & Middle Eastern Rice image

What can I say, other than this is an EASY and wonderful tasting way to make lamb chops. The Middle Eastern Rice goes very well with the lamb chops, and can also be used to compliment other dishes as well.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I would make it again, but I would use less chili powder.

The lamb chops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the rice was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the lamb chops for a shorter amount of time.
