Breaded pork chops made in the air fryer turn out perfectly tender & juicy every time!
Ingredients :
4 boneless pork chops ½" thick
salt and black pepper
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup Panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Directions :
Dab pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt & pepper.
Whisk flour and Italian seasoning. Place in a shallow bowl or plate.
In another dish, combine bread crumbs, Panko, parmesan cheese, paprika, and salt & pepper to taste.
Lightly dredge pork with flour and then dip into beaten egg. Finally, dip into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
Spray each side of the pork chops with cooking spray or olive oil spray and place in the air fryer basket ensuring there is room for the air to circulate.
Cook 5 minutes. Flip the pork chops over and cook an additional 4-6 minutes or until browned and the thickest part reaches 140°F with a meat thermometer.
Remove pork from the air fryer basket and place on a wire rack. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
