Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick patted dry
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs panko preferred
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place the beaten egg in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each pork chop into the egg, letting excess drip away, then press firmly into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture so both sides are evenly coated.
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange the chops in a single layer with space between them, then lightly spray the tops.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 6 to 8 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for 5 to 7 minutes more, until the crust is golden and the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Transfer the pork chops to a plate and rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
