Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
2. Prepare the Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the chopped chives, parsley, rosemary, and minced garlic. Set aside.
3. Season the Lamb: Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Rub each side with avocado oil, then season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
4. Sear the Lamb: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the lamb chops in the skillet, searing each side for 2-3 minutes until browned. This step locks in the flavors and creates a beautiful crust.
5. Add Dijon and Herbs: After searing, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on both sides of the lamb chops. Press the herb mixture onto the mustard-coated lamb, ensuring it adheres well.
6. Roast in the Oven: Transfer the skillet with the lamb chops to the preheated oven. Roast for 10-15 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C).
7. Rest and Serve: Once the lamb chops are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve the lamb chops with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy!
