Herbed Lamb Chops

   Add chops; seal bag and turn to coat.
3. 3
   Let stand for 5 minutes; drain.
4. 4
   In a large skillet, brown chops for 2 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145; medium, 160 well-done, 170). Top with butter and sprinkle with reserved herb mixture.
