Growing up I remember my grandmother’s old fashion recipes. She always had these Hugh Meals on Sundays after church and invited everyone in the family. (Daughters, aunts, cousins, grandchildren, minister, etc) I never knew how she could get so much food cooked and ready to serve and still go to church. And she always made a big breakfast before church!
I can still remember the big feather bed and the smell of those country breakfasts. Homemade biscuits and what my grandpa called “red*eye-gravy.”
How did she make those meals?
Grandmother didn’t have air fryers or crock pots, although she did have a pressure cooker. I still remember the day it “blew” and we had homemade spaghetti all over the ceiling and kitchen from one wall to the other !! But she made the best ever spaghetti with pork chops !! I never have been able to come close to how hers tasted.
Breaded Air Fryer Pork Chops
I bet Grandmother wished she had had a Nu-wave air fryer !!!! I have used mine for many years and still can’t do what she did!
Want perfectly tender and juicy pork chops in 10 minutes? Using your air fryer and just a few ingredients. You can use different crouton flavors to give this variety.
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 10 min
Total:20 min
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 boneless, center-cut pork chops
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 1/2 up cheese and garlic-flavored croutons
2 large eggs
cooking spray I use Pam Butter Flavor Non-Stick Cooking Spray about 5 fl
Directions:
Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C)
Place pork chops on a plate and season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Pulse croutons in a small food processor until they have a fine consistency; transfer to a shallow dish. Lightly beat eggs in a separate shallow dish. Dip pork chops into eggs, letting excess drip off. Coat chops in crouton breading and set a plate. Mist chops with cooking spray. Then spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray and place chops inside, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer. You may have to do two batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook for 5 minutes. Flip chops and mist again with cooking spray if there are dry or powdery areas. Cook 5 minutes more. Repeat with all pork chops if you have to do it in batches.
You can keep chops warm in the oven on the lowest setting while finishing the last chops. If chops are thicker add an extra minute to the cooking time and if very thin cook 1 minute less. ( remember like ovens some might be hotter than others, so adjust accordingly ) Hope you enjoy it!!
I ran across one of Grandmother’s recipes this week. And I wanted to share it.
