Marinated Greek lamb chops are a delicious and flavorful entree option that is sure to impress your friends and family. The tangy lemon and garlic marinade helps to enhance the flavor of the lamb chops, while the robust oregano adds an earthy depth. Grilling the lamb chops over high heat gives them a slightly charred exterior and a tender, juicy interior. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a Greek salad for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.	In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped oregano, chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper.
2.	Place lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or baking dish and pour marinade over lamb chops, making sure that each chop is coated.
3.	Cover the dish or seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning the lamb chops occasionally.
4.	Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
5.	Remove lamb chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
6.	Grill lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they reach your preferred level of doneness.
7.	Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
