Description

Crispy and juicy breaded pork chops made effortlessly in the air fryer. These pork chops are seasoned, breaded, and cooked to perfection with a golden brown finish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, whisk the eggs in a second dish, and combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third dish.
  4. Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess.
  5. Dip the floured pork chop in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  6. Coat the pork chop in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
  7. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  8. Place the breaded pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches.
  9. Spray the tops of the pork chops lightly with cooking spray.
  10. Cook in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pork chops are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  11. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the pork chops.
  • For added flavor, marinate the pork chops in your favorite seasoning or sauce for a few hours before breading.
