Crispiest, Juiciest Air Fryer Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 4 (3/4 to 1-inch thick) boneless center cut pork chops (about 6 ounces each), trimmed if needed
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup fine, dried breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Cooking spray

Description

1. Set an air fryer to 400°F and let heat for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the pork chops.

2. Season the pork chops all over with the salt and set aside. Whisk the egg and mustard together in a shallow dish. Shake the panko breadcrumbs, fine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a gallon zip-top bag.

3. Dip each pork chop in the egg mixture to coat, then place in the breadcrumb bag. When all 4 pork chops are in the bag, seal and shake to coat the chops evenly in the crumbs.

4. Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Use tongs to transfer 2 pork chops into the air fryer and place in a single layer. Cook for 6 minutes. Flip and cook for 6 minutes more. The chops are done when the coating is golden brown and they register 145°F in the thickest part with a probe thermometer. Repeat with the remaining 2 pork chops.
