Honey Garlic Lamb Chops Recipe

1. Season the lamb – Pat dry, then season both sides generously with salt & black pepper.
2. Sear – Heat olive oil in a hot pan. Sear lamb chops 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the glaze – In the same pan, add butter + garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, balsamic (if using), and chili flakes. Let it bubble into a sticky glaze.
4. Glaze the lamb – Return lamb chops to the pan. Spoon glaze over the chops and let cook another 1–2 minutes per side until sticky and cooked to your liking (medium-rare is about 135°F).
5. Serve – Garnish with fresh parsley and extra glaze from the pan.

🔥 Pro Tip: Let your lamb rest 3–5 minutes before cutting in so all the juices stay locked in.
