Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 4 lamb chops (preferably bone-in, 3/4 to 1 inch thick)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 2 sweet onions, sliced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Recipe

• 1 combine the salt, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, and poultry seasoning in a small bowl. rub about half of the seasoning into each lamb chop. (reserve the remaining seasoning for the gravy.) spread 1/4 cup of the flour in a shallow dish. dredge each lamb chop in the flour.
• 2 heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. add lamb chops and cook until they are well browned, about 3 minutes per side. transfer the lamb chops to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• 3 add the onion to the skillet (don't pour off any drippings). cook until the onion is softened and beginning to brown, about 7-8 minutes. add the remaining 1/4 cup flour and cook, whisking constantly until the mixture is thickened and golden brown. add the chicken broth and whisk until smooth. stir in the remaining seasoning. bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. return the lamb chops to the skillet and add the rosemary. reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the lamb is tender, about 1 hour.
