PANKO BREADED PORK CHOPS RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare the chops: Trim all fat from chops. Rinse with water to remove any bone particles.
• Prepare the Dredge Stations: In one shallow dish or baking pan, beat the egg with water. In another shallow bowl or baking pan, mix together Panko bread crumbs and spices.
• If adding the OPTIONAL flour dredge, set up a third pan with the flour.
• Coat the Chops: If using the optional flour step, first lightly coat the chop in flour. Shake off any excess flour. This step helps the egg wash adhere to the pork chop. If not using flour, skip to the next step.
• Place chops in egg wash mixture and turn to wet both sides. Next, dip chops into crumb mixture turning to coat both sides.
• Into the Fryer: Place chops in Air Fryer pan. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. If necessary, add a wire rack to create a second tier of pork chops (See photos). Insert drawer into fryer and close.
• Cook the Chops: Set the temperature to 380 degrees F and the time for 12 minutes. Turn the chops halfway through the cooking time and lightly spray with cooking spray. Close the drawer and continue cooking. The chops are done when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F and the center is no longer pink.
• Give it a Rest: Allow the chops to rest for 3-minutes before serving.
• Serving Suggestions: For an easy 20-minute meal, serve with steamed vegetables, quick-cooking rice, and a fresh cucumber-tomato salad.
• Storage: Leftovers may be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° and set wire rack on baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix panko, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, parsley, paprika, and 2 teaspoons salt until evenly combined. Transfer mixture to a large resealable plastic bag.
• Season both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper. Add pork chops to the bag and shake until evenly coated in panko mixture.
• Place pork chops on wire rack and bake until the pork is cooked through and the bread crumbs are golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss green beans in remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer on a separate baking sheet and bake until tender and beginning to color, about 15 minutes. Serve warm with pork chops.
