Breaded Air Fryer Pork Chops
These breaded pork chops, made in the air fryer, are perfectly tender and juicy. They require basic pantry ingredients and take just 10 minutes to cook. I like to use a Misto sprayer with my own oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray.
Ingredients
- 5 ounce boneless center-cut pork chops, 1-inch thick
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 ½ cups cheese and garlic croutons
- 2 large eggs
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place pork chops on a plate and season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
- Pulse croutons in a small food processor until fine; transfer to a shallow dish. Lightly beat eggs in a separate shallow dish. Working one at a time, dip pork chops into beaten egg, letting excess drip off; press into crouton breading to coat both sides and place breaded chop, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chops. Mist chops with cooking spray.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may have to do two batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes; flip chops and mist again with cooking spray if there are dry areas. Cook 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chops should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Tips
Play around with different flavors of croutons for variety.
Keep chops warm in an oven on the lowest setting while air frying the remaining chops.
For thicker chops, add an extra minute to the cook time. For thinner chops, cook 1 minute less.
