Air fryer breaded pork chops are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried pork chops. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each pork chop into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it completely.
- Press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the breadcrumbs to the meat. Flip the chop and repeat on the other side, ensuring an even coating.
- Place the breaded pork chops in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the pork chops in the air fryer for about 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
- Serve the air fryer breaded pork chops with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Enjoy your crispy and flavorful air fryer breaded pork chops!
