Pan Fried Lamb Chops
Pan fried lamb chops breaded with panko and cooked until crunchy on the outside and juicy inside. Finished with lemon and parsley.
Ingredients
- 1 pound small rib lamb chops or bone-in lamb loin chops
- salt and black pepper for seasoning lamb chops
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (use rice flour for gluten-free)
- 2 eggs beaten
- vegetable oil for frying
- lemon wedges
- curly leaf parsley for garnish
Seasoned Panko
- ¾ cup panko or gluten-free panko
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
- Trim excess fat from the chops. Rinse briefly, then pat very dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat about ½ inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Set up three shallow bowls. Add the flour to the first bowl. Add the beaten eggs to the second bowl. In the third bowl, mix the panko with all of the seasoned panko ingredients.
- Working one chop at a time, dredge the lamb in the flour, shaking off excess. Hold the chop by the bone and dip it into the egg, coating the meat while keeping the bone clean.
- Press the chop into the seasoned panko, coating both sides evenly.
- Carefully place the chops into the hot oil. Cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook another 2-3, or until golden, depending on the thickness of the lamb chops.
- Transfer the chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Garnish with parsley.
