Roman-Style Breaded Lamb Chops

Lamb chops are one of my favorite things to eat. Most of the time you’ll see them grilled or pan fried. This Roman-style preparation may be my new favorite. The rib chops are pounded with a mallet so they cook through evenly. They are then dredged in flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs; fried until crispy.
