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
Instructions
- 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.

Notes
- Thicker chops will need a couple minutes longer, thinner chops will cook faster.
- Appliances can vary, check the chops early to ensure they don't overcook.
- Dabbing the chops dry helps the coating to stick.
- Preheat the air fryer and be sure not to overcrowd the basket so air can circulate.
- Pork chops can (and should) be a little tiny bit pink in the middle to ensure they're juicy.
- Internal temperature should read 140°F, test at the thickest part of the meat. Remove them from the air fryer a few degrees before (137°F) as the meat will continue to cook once removed from the air fryer. I highly recommend an instant read thermometer to ensure they don't overcook.
- Always allow meat to rest before serving.
