This recipe is one of my husband's favorites because it reminds him of his German roots. Cooking pork schnitzel in an air fryer is genius because we can eat in a jiffy. —Joyce Folker, Paraowan, Utah

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 pork sirloin cutlets (4 ounces each)
  • Cooking spray
  • DILL SAUCE:
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon dill weed

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 375°. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, seasoned salt and pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk egg and milk until blended. In a third bowl, mix bread crumbs and paprika.
  2. Pound pork cutlets with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness. Dip cutlets into flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture, then into crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
  3. Place pork in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Turn; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes longer. Remove to a serving plate; keep warm.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk flour and broth until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream and dill; heat through (do not boil). Serve with pork.
