What Goes into Making Panko-Crusted Pork Chops?

To make air fryer panko-crusted pork chops, you need a few bone-less pork chops. Pasture-raised pork is your best alternative, and ensure the cuts are not too thin, or they’ll dry out.

You’ll also need eggs to coat the pork chops and breadcrumbs for a crispy and golden crust. We love course breadcrumbs like panko. We’ll season the crumbs with dried rosemary, salt and pepper (use your favorite herbs and seasonings). Once the pork chops are coated, spray them with oil and air fry them until cooked through. That’s it!

What Goes with Pork Chops?

Breaded pork chops are delicious with potatoes — they’re the perfect match. Choose between mashed potatoes or roasted baby potatoes and dig in.
Since pork chops can be a bit heavy, an acidic element on the plate can balance things out. Think of sauerkraut or pickles! Also, a side of crunchy slaw will balance the fatty richness of the chops. It’s all about balance.

Serve your air-fried pork chops with Dijon mustard or gravy for an even more wholesome meal. Even ketchup can make these chops sing. The sauce, as always, is up to you!
