Pat pork chops dry. Season with salt and pepper.
Set up breading station: flour, beaten eggs, and panko mixed with Parmesan and seasonings.
Dredge each chop in flour, then egg, then panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
Spray both sides generously with cooking spray.
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.
