Try our mouthwatering air fryer breaded pork chops recipe, featuring a crispy coating that perfectly complements the juicy and flavorful pork, making every bite a delightful combination of crunch and tenderness.
4boneless, center cut pork chopsabout ½ inch thick
2large eggs
1cupItalian style bread crumbs
1/2cupPanko bread crumbs
1teaspoongarlic powder
1teaspoononion powder
1teaspoonsalt
½teaspooncracked pepper
Minced parsleyfor garnish
Instructions
Whisk together the eggs until smooth in a shallow dish.
Add the bread crumbs, Panko, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to a second shallow dish.
Dredge the pork chops first in the eggs and then in the bread crumbs to coat. Press the pork chops into the bread crumb mixture to make sure it fully adheres to the pork.
Spritz your air fryer basket with oil spray and arrange the pork chops in a single layer in the basket, leaving a bit of space between each piece for air to flow. You may need to work in batches.
Spritz the pork liberally with oil spray and air fry at 390 degrees for 5 minutes. Flip the pork chops over and spray again with oil spray. Continue cooking for 5 minutes or until pork is cooked through. The internal temperature should be 150 degrees. Timing may vary depending on thickness of pork chops and air fryer model. For best results use a meat thermometer.
Repeat with remaining pork chops, if needed. Rewarm in air fryer for 2 minutes, as needed.
Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Notes
We love boneless center cut pork chops, but this recipe should work well with any type of pork chop. Adjust cook time as needed and use a meat thermometer to test for doneness. We’re using a combination of traditional bread crumbs and panko to create a more crisp texture. You can skip the panko if you don’t have it on hand or prefer the texture of traditional bread crumbs.
