Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless pork chops , 1/2-inch thick
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder , divided
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder , divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • splash of water
  • 1/3 cup seasoned Italian breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Season pork chops on both sides with the salt and pepper, set aside.
  • Set up your breading station with 3 shallow bowls:

    Bowl 2: thoroughly whisk together the eggs, splash of water, 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of the onion powder.

  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray; place two pork chops in the basket or as many as you can fit without them touching. Spray the tops of the pork chops with cooking spray.
  • Air fry for 4 minutes, turn them over, spray the top with more cooking spray and air fry an additional 4 minutes or until an internal temperature reaches 145°F.
