Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 cup unsalted chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 slice lemon
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Pour the unsalted chicken broth into a shallow dish.
In a separate bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Mix well.
Brush each pork chop lightly with olive oil on both sides.
Dip the pork chops in the spice mixture to coat both sides evenly.
Now dip each pork chop into the chicken broth, lightly coating each piece to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
Spread the panko breadcrumbs on a plate. Press each pork chop into the breadcrumbs to coat both sides generously.
Place the breaded pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches to prevent crowding.
Air fry the pork chops for 12-15 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time for even crispness. Cook until the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the air fryer and allow them to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve the pork chops with a slice of lemon to squeeze over for added freshness.
