Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Pat pork chops dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- 2
Set up breading station: flour, beaten eggs, and panko mixed with Parmesan and seasonings.
- 3
Dredge each chop in flour, then egg, then panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
- 4
Spray both sides generously with cooking spray.
- 5
Air fry at 400°F for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and internal temp reaches 145°F.
Tip: Let chops rest 3 minutes after cooking — the temperature will rise another 5°F and juices redistribute. Pressing the panko firmly into the egg coating is crucial for a crust that stays on. Don't skip the Parmesan; it adds flavor and helps browning.
