Cook Time14 minutes
Total Time29 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper divided
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Season both sides of the pork chops with a half teaspoon of the salt and a half teaspoon of the pepper.
  • Place the flour on a plate, whisk the eggs in a large bowl, and place the breadcrumbs in another large bowl. Season the flour with the paprika and the breadcrumbs with the remaining salt and pepper.
  • To bread the pork, place a pork chop in the flour, then into the whisked eggs, and then into the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded pork onto a plate, and finish breading the remaining pork chops.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pork chops into the air fryer, keeping them from overlapping and working in batches as needed. Spray the pork chops with cooking spray and cook for eight minutes; flip the pork and cook for another four to six minutes or until cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
  • Serve with lemon wedges. For a complete German meal, add spaetzle and a tossed salad. Serves four.
