Ready Time: 50 mins



• cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. remove the bacon slices to a plate lined with paper towels to cool, retaining bacon drippings in the skillet. crumble the cooled bacon.


• lay lamb chops into the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet; season with salt and black pepper. cook lamb chops until completely browned, 3 to 5 minutes. remove lamb chops to the paper towel-lined plate.


• stir rice, onion, and garlic into the drippings remaining in the skillet. cook and stir until the onions are tender and the rice is slightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. pour chicken broth over the rice mixture; add crumbled bacon and cayenne pepper.


• bring the mixture to a boil. return the lamb chops to the skillet. sprinkle rosemary and thyme over the lamb chops. reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until the broth is absorbed into the rice and the lamb chops are no longer pink in the middle, about 20 minutes.
