# Ingredients:
01 -
2 pounds lamb chops (rib chops or loin chops)
02 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
03 -
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
04 -
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 -
1 egg, beaten

# Instructions:
01 -
Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
02 -
Arrange three shallow bowls: add flour to the first, beaten egg to the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and minced garlic to the third.
03 -
Coat each chop in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, and finally press into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture for an even coating.
04 -
Heat a generous layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers but does not smoke.
05 -
Fry lamb chops in batches, 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked to desired doneness. Avoid crowding the pan.
06 -
Transfer cooked chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain oil. Garnish with parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges if desired.
