Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs, minced in a food processor or dried plain bread crumbs
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ cup virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 thin bone-in pork chops or boneless pork chops or cutlets

Instructions
 

  • Mix the crumb mixture together in a medium-size bowl which includes the bread crumbs, olive oil, fresh parsley, dijon mustard, dried thyme, garlic salt, and ground black pepper.
  • Dry the pork chops with a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture and to help the chops get extra crispy.
  • With clean hands, pat the breading mixture on both sides of the thick cut pork chops.
  • Preheat the air fryer on 400 F for 5 minutes. If you have an air fryer oven spray the aluminum rack with cooking spray, if you have an air fryer basket that's non-stick do not use cooking spray.
  • Carefully add the chops to the air fryer basket. Whether you can fit 2 or 4 depends on the size of your air fryer.
  • The pork chops cook for a total of 10 minutes, make sure to flip them over after 5 minutes of cooking.
    Use the 10 minutes as an estimate, the cooking time can vary based on YOUR model of air fryer and how fast it cooks. We highly recommend using a digital meat thermometer to cook the pork chops until they just reach 145 F.
  • Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before cutting into them! This is essential in distributing the juices evenly.

Notes

  • This recipe uses thin cut pork chops with the bone-in, if your pork chops are thicker, they'll take longer to cook. We highly recommend using a digital meat thermometer to make sure you take the pork chops out at 145 F.
  • Either standard bone-in pork chops will work for this recipe or you can use french cut bone-in pork chops.
  • Make the pork chops gluten free or keto by using either gluten free or keto bread crumbs
  • Chopping fresh parsley compacts it down A LOT. ½ cup of chopped fresh parsley uses most of a head of parsley.
