Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine dried basil, marjoram, thyme, and salt to create an aromatic herb rub. Rub this mixture all over the lamb chops.
  2. Cover the seasoned lamb chops with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for about 1 hour for enhanced flavor.
  3. Preheat your broiler to high and arrange the oven rack to sit 4 to 6 inches from the heat source, giving it about 5 minutes to heat up fully.
  4. Place the lamb chops on a broiler-safe pan or oven rack. Broil for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, monitoring closely for doneness.
  5. Once done, remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
