Notes
Storage: Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stovetop to prevent the lamb from overcooking. Make-Ahead: You can season the lamb chops and slice the vegetables up to 1 day in advance. For a variation, substitute chicken thighs for lamb chops and adjust cook time to 6 minutes. Serve with a side of couscous, rice pilaf, or a simple green salad for a complete meal. The zucchini can be swapped for yellow squash or eggplant.
