Makes

Ingredients

2 boneless pork chops about 1 inch thick
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg beaten
Avocado oil spray

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF (204ºC) for 5 minutes.
Arrange the breading station. Place flour in the first dish, beat the egg(s) in the second dish, and combine panko breadcrumbs with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in the last dish.
Bread the pork chops. Start off by gently patting the pork chops dry. Next, dip each pork chop into the flour, followed by the beaten egg, and finally, coat them generously with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
Air fry breaded pork chops. Place the meat in the air fryer. Arrange in a single layer while making sure they don't overlap. Generously spray pork with avocado oil. Then, set the temp to 400ºF (204ºC) and air fry for 12 - 15 minutes.
After 6 - 8 minutes, flip the breaded pork chops. Then, spray with more avocado oil and continue air frying.
At the 12-minute mark, check the pork chops' internal temperature with a meat thermometer; they're ready at 145ºF (63ºC). If not, continue cooking.
Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve and enjoy your air-fried breaded pork chops!

Notes

The pork's safe internal temperature is a minimum of 145ºF (63ºC). Considering that cooking time varies depending on the meat's thickness (and your air fryer's specs), always check with a meat thermometer if your pork is cooked thoroughly.
If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 380°F (193°C) and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food.
You can skip preheating by adding 2-4 minutes to your cooking time. Increment gradually to prevent burning the breaded pork chops.
I used a 6-quart (air fryer) to test the breaded pork chops. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
