CASSANDRA'S YUMMY LAMB CHOPS

This dish is absolutely superb! I've always loved lamb and I bought it at the store not knowing what to do with it so I used my imagination. It's moist and tender, full of flavor and served best complimented with sauteed zucchini and rice.

2 lamb chops
2 bulbs roasted garlic
½ teaspoon dried thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste
