Equipment

Air Fryer Oven
Cooking spray I recommend olive oil spray
2 Bowls large enough to dredge pork chops in eggs and breadcrumbs

Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops ½-inch thick
1 cup Panko seasoned breadcrumbs
¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Combine panko, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat eggs.
1 cup Panko seasoned breadcrumbs, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 2 eggs, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper
Dip the pork chops first in the beaten eggs, coating completely. Then dip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere the crumbs to the pork chops. Coat both sides and gently shake off any excess.
4 boneless pork chops
Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Once preheated, spray each side of the pork chops using cooking spray, and place in the air fryer basket.
Cook 5 minutes, then flip and cook another 4-6 minutes, until browned and crispy. Measure the internal temperature using a meat thermometer (it should reach 140°F).
Remove from the air fryer and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

You can use bone-in pork chops if you prefer. If using bone-in pork chops, especially if they are thicker than ½-inch, they will most likely need to cook for longer than boneless. Cook for about 12 minutes total - 6 minutes on one side, 6 minutes on the next.
Always check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer, especially if using thicker pork chops or pork chops cooked from frozen.
Let the pork chops rest 5 minutes after cooking.
If using frozen pork chops, you can defrost for 4-5 minutes at 380°F before following the recipe as instructed, or defrost first in the refrigerator overnight.
