Electric Skillet Lamb Chops

This recipe is perfect for date night, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter or whenever you’re in the mood for lamb. I like to serve it with this fancy caprese salad on the side.

🥘 Ingredients

• thick-cut lamb chops (loin or rib) - Lean and mild, lamb chops offer protein, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamin B12 and other minerals. Light, earthy sweetness defines this meat that often appears in keto diets.
• olive oil - To fry the chops.
• shallots - Finely diced.
• beef broth - I use prepared, boxed beef broth but you can also use beef bouillon cubes.
• white wine - White wine doesn't make your dish taste like grapes: instead, it enhances the flavors of the heavy cream, sharp mustard and savory beef broth. Find a dry wine with a little earthiness and acidity. Sweet wines can enhance desserts, but avoid adding them to this dish--your sauce might become too sweet and fruity.
• Dijon mustard - I use whole grain Dijon mustard.
• heavy cream - Adds rich creaminess to the dish.

🔪 How to Make These Lamb Chops

1. Cook the lamb chops. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper. Heat electric skillet to 350ºF and add the olive oil. Add lamb chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chops from skillet and set aside.
2. Make the sauce. Reduce heat to 250ºF. Add the shallots and cook, stirring constantly, until softened (about 5 minutes). Add broth, wine and mustard. Mix well and simmer for another 5-6 minutes, until the sauce thickens a little. Add the heavy cream and stir until fully combined.
3. Add chops back to skillet. Return chops to skillet, cover with the lid and cook for 3 more minutes, or until desired doneness.
4. Serve. Serve topped with fresh parsley, if desired.

🥗 Serving Suggestions

• While lamb is mild, the mustard sauce adds a sharp taste, so pair this entree with simple side dishes like a green pea purée or roasted vegetables.
• Try chickpea salad, mushroom risotto, roasted white asparagus, potato wedges, zucchini noodles, creamed spinach and bean soups.
• Crusty breads or flatbreads are great for soaking up the delicious sauce.

🌡️ Storage

After dinner, store the lamb chops in a covered container in the fridge for up to three to four days. You can reheat your meal in the microwave, but using the electric skillet helps preserve the flavor and texture.
