Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper
12 lamb chops
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves

Preparation:

In a pie plate, combine flour, salt and pepper; dredge the lamb chops in the flour mixture.

In a large heavy skillet, heat olive oil. Add the lamb chops and cook about 3 to 4 minutes; turn the lamb chops over and cook another minute on the other side or until and an internal temperature registers 125°F. (use a meat thermometer to test for doneness). Transfer to a warm platter or individual serving plates; set aside.

This is the type of cooking and meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking. I get many readers asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the Thermapen Thermometer shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed for professional users, the Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click on the underlined: Thermapen Thermometer.

In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the wine; deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the chicken broth and continue cooking until liquid is reduced by 1/3.

In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, lemon juice, parsley. and marjoram. Season with salt and pepper. Turn heat to low and slowly add the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly. The sauce should be thick and smooth. Remove from heat and pour sauce over the lamb chops to serve.
