These breaded pork chops, made in the air fryer, are perfectly tender and juicy. They require basic pantry ingredients and take just 10 minutes to cook. I like to use a Misto sprayer with my own oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray.
Ingredients

Stages of cooking
-
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Place pork chops on a plate and season both sides with Cajun seasoning. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
-
Pulse croutons in a small food processor until fine; transfer to a shallow dish. Lightly beat eggs in a separate shallow dish. Working one at a time, dip pork chops into beaten egg, letting excess drip off; press into crouton breading to coat both sides and place breaded chop, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chops. Mist chops with cooking spray. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
-
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may have to do two batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
-
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes; flip chops and mist again with cooking spray if there are dry areas. Cook 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chops should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
