Steps:
- Check for doneness: At this point, if you want your lamb chops rare, they are likely cooked enough. If you would like your chops more cooked, you can put them in a 400°F oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or keep them in the hot pan, lower the heat to warm, and cover the pan for a few minutes. Note that rib chops are so small, and cook so quickly, checking for internal temperature with a thermometer can be impractical. For this reason I use the finger test to check the doneness of the chops. That said, if you have an instant read thermometer and want to check thick chops, aim for 125°F for rare, 135°F medium-rare, and 140°F for medium.
- Rest the chops: When done, remove the chops from the pan, cover with foil and let rest 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

Season the meat with the salt and pepper and place the lamb in a roasting pan. Place the lamb in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to cook for about 1 hour longer for medium-rare, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers about 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F (be careful that the thermometer does not touch the bone.) Remove lamb from pan and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
- Position the roasting pan over your stove burners. Add mixed herbs and onions to pan, and stir to combine with pan drippings. Add chicken stock and wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any fond. Reduce over high heat until sauce consistency. Strain before serving, if desired. Slice lamb and serve with sauce drizzled over the top.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a bright red color. Avoid chops that are excessively fatty or have a dull color.
- Trim the lamb chops: Remove any excess fat from the chops before cooking. This will help to prevent flare-ups and ensure that the chops cook evenly.
- Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Roasted lamb chops with orange-garlic-rosemary pesto rub is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion meal. The lamb chops are tender and juicy, with a flavorful crust that is complemented by the bright and tangy orange-garlic-rosemary pesto.
