Ingredients

4 pork chops
1 5 ounce packet shake n bake

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
In a zipper plastic bag (or a shallow bowl), add in one of the packets of shake and bake. If adding in extra seasoning add onion powder, chipotle powder, or garlic powder in and shake to combine.
Add one pork chop at a time to the breading mixture and completely coat each pork chop setting them on a plate.
Carefully lay each chop into the air fryer, keeping space between them. Air fry for 7-12 minutes, a thinner chop will cook in about 7 minutes. Check the temperature with a digital thermometer after about 5 minutes of cooking time.
Cook until golden brown and the internal temperature has reached 145°F.

Notes

My number one, top tip is to make sure not to over bake the pork chops. You just want to air fry them until the internal temperature reaches 145° f when read with a meat thermometer. The cook time is less important than the temperature, that is why we check it before air frying it for the full cooking time.

Don't be afraid to open the air fryer, check on pork chops part of the way through cooking.

Keep the chops in a single layer and not touching in the air fryer basket. This way they will cook evenly.

When serving pork chops, be mindful not to keep them at room temp for longer than 2 hours because they can start growing bacteria.
Leftover pork chops will last 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
