My love of pork recipes run deep runs deep. Pork chops and Sauerkraut and Instant Pork Tenderloin are two of my most popular recipes. For those who follow along on my insta-stories on Instagram know I received a much-wanted air fryer for Christmas. This is the first of many air fryer recipes I will be sharing.

Ingredients:

boneless pork chops: 5 ounces each.

Italian flavored bread crumbs: gives a crispy crunchy exterior to the pork.

egg: to dip the chops into so bread crumbs adhere to the meat.

salt and pepper: season the egg wash for flavor.

olive oil spray: prevents chops from sticking to the air fryer.

Air Fryer Breaded Pork Chops

Why this recipe works:

  • The bread crumbs add a crispy exterior to the chops.
  • The air fryer makes a healthier choice for cooking the pork without adding oil.
  • Pork is a lean and good choice for a tasty dinner.

What temperature should pork be when cooking is complete?

As per USDA Food and Safety, pork chops should be cooked to a minimum of 145°F. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of cooked meat.

Can I use a bone-in chop for this recipe?

Absolutely,bone-in chops may need another 2-3 minutes cooking time.

Can egg whites be used in lieu of egg for a lower calorie count?

Sure. I keep a carton of egg whites in the fridge and often use them to for an egg wash. It is a lower cholesterol choice.

Do I need to preheat the air fryer for this recipe? 

My air fryer does an auto preheat. Follow your manufacturer's instructions if it needs a preheat time.

Tips to make the most delicious pork chops:

  • Don't stack the pork chops in the air fryer basket. Spread them out to cook.
  • Depending on your air fryer, flipping the food at the halfway cooking time is best for the crispiest results.
