Broiled Lamb Chops with Mint Mustard Sauce come together in 30 minutes and are perfect for a weeknight dinner, but fancy enough to highlight at the Easter dinner table. 

Easter is coming up soon, so I thought it only appropriate to share with you one of my favorite Easter dinner recipes – Broiled Lamb Chops with Mint Mustard Sauce.

These lamb chops come together in less than 30 minutes and are a perfect spring dish to spotlight on your Easter table. The mint mustard sauce is tangy and sweet, and amazingly delicious drizzled over the broiled lamb chops.

These beautiful lamb chops are lightly coated in garlic infused olive oil (takes 5 minutes on your stovetop), generously seasoned with salt and pepper and then cooked perfectly under the broiler. I like to serve the chops on the medium-rare side, but feel free to cook them to your personal preference. I’ve provided a lamb cooking temperature chart below for easy reference.

I’m using lamb loin chops that are about 1-inch thick for this recipe. You’ll want about three chops per person.

I’ve mentioned before how I prefer cooking with American Lamb. Here’s why I always choose it over lamb from Australia or New Zealand:

• By choosing American Lamb, you’re supporting local farmers throughout America.
• American Lamb is up to 10,000 miles fresher than imported lamb.
• Sheep improve pasture quality by recycling important nutrients back into the soil, minimizing erosion and encouraging plant growth.
• Raising lamb in the U.S. is a family affair with more than 80,000 family owned operations.
• The majority of sheep in the states graze pastures for most of their lives.

How Long Do Lamb Chops Take to Broil?

Lamb loin chops that are 1-inch thick will take 5-8 minutes per side under the broiler. You’ll want to have the broiler on high, and your heating element should be just a few inches above the lamb chops.

What Temperature Should Lamb Be Cooked To?

• Medium Rare – 145 degrees
• Medium – 160 degrees
• Well Done – 170 degrees

What to Serve with Lamb Chops?

Here are some great side dish options to serve alongside your broiled lamb chops:

• Grilled Broccolini
• Mashed Potatoes
• Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad 
• Smashed Potatoes with Mojo Sauce
• Cherry Tomato Salad with Roasted Lemons
• Shaved Fennel and Celery Salad
• Glazed Carrots

I teamed up with American Lamb to bring you this post. As always, all opinions are my own.

Wine Pairings for Lamb Chops:

• Cabernet with its minty undertones makes an excellent pairing for the rich lamb and echoes the flavors in the mint mustard sauce.
• Petite Sirah is another great match. With its typical flavors of plum, raspberry, blackberries, and black pepper it lends itself wonderfully to stronger flavored meats, like lamb.
