Prep: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
12 (2-ounce) French-cut lamb rib chops, trimmed
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 14-ounce can fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup uncooked bulgur

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
