Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Cooking spray (olive oil or avocado oil)

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with 1/4 cup flour, one with 2 beaten eggs, and one with 1/2 cup panko, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano mixed together.
  3. Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, letting excess drip off. Press into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides. Place on a plate and repeat with remaining chops.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the breaded pork chops in a single layer without overcrowding. Spray the tops of the chops with cooking spray.
  6. Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. At the 5-minute mark, flip the chops and spray the other side lightly.
  7. Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer; it should reach 145°F (63°C). If needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. Let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. If the coating isn’t sticking well, refrigerate the breaded chops for 10-15 minutes before air frying. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
