Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 14 minutes
Additional Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 24 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 (6 oz) center cut boneless pork chops (3/4 to 1-inch thick), trimmed
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Whisk together buttermilk and mustard in a baking dish.
  2. Add pork chops to the baking dish, turning to coat in buttermilk mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. 
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF for 10 minutes. Lightly spray the bottom of the basket with olive oil spray.
  4. In a shallow bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper. 
  5. Remove pork from buttermilk mixture, letting excess drip off. Coat in panko mixture and place in air fryer. Spritz both sides with olive oil for a nice golden brown crust. Repeat with remaining pork chops, keeping in mind you may need to do them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  6. Cook for 7 minutes, flip and cook 5-7 minutes more, or until internal temperature reaches 145ºF when checked with an instant read thermometer.
  7. Best enjoyed immediately but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in fridge for 2-3 days.

Notes

  • Don't have panko? You could use traditional bread crumbs instead.
  • Don't have parmesan cheese? No problem, you could leave it out. You might want to increase the salt slightly to make up for it.
