Step 1
Smash garlic cloves with the flat of a knife. Leave rosemary sprigs whole.

Pat lamb chops dry. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

Cut lemon in half. Zest 1 half into a small bowl; set aside.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.
Step 5
Add garlic and rosemary. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then slide chops into pan.
