Cook the chops for 7 to 8 minutes, turning once. Place the lamb chops in the skillet and flip them over after 3 1/2 to 4 minutes using tongs. Continue cooking for an additional 3 1/2 to 4 minutes, or until done. You can also spray the pan with a coating of nonstick cooking spray to ensure that the chops will not stick. 2  Give the pan 1 or 2 minutes to heat up. 3  To test whether or not the pan is hot enough, sprinkle 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of water into the skillet.
