Air Fryer Breaded Pork Chops

the air fryer are crispy outside, juicy inside, and ready in less time than frying or baking. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner and uses simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• Olive oil spray

Instructions

1. Prepare the coating: In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Make the egg wash: In another bowl, whisk eggs with milk until smooth.
3. Bread the pork chops: Dip each pork chop in the egg wash, letting extra drip off. Then coat well with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so it sticks.
4. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
5. Cook: Place the breaded pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with olive oil. Cook for 12–14 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
6. Rest and serve: Let the pork chops rest for 3–5 minutes before serving. This helps them stay juicy.

Tips & Tricks

• Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
• For extra crispiness, spray the chops again with oil after flipping.
• Pair with mashed potatoes, air fryer fries, or a fresh salad for a full meal.
