Lamb Chops with Balsamic Reduction

INGREDIENTS:
3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
4 lamb chops or 2 boneless lamb steaks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup minced shallots
1/3 cup aged balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon diet butter

DIRECTIONS:
Mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper and
rub onto the lamb on both sides - then set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet,
and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side Remove from the skillet, and keep warm in the oven set at 200 degrees.

Add shallots to the hot skillet that had the lamb in it, and cook for a few minutes, just until browned. Stir in vinegar and chicken broth. Scrape any lamb bits.

Continue to cook and stir over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce
has reduced almost by 75%. If you don't, the sauce will be runny and not good. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Pour over the lamb, and serve.
