Air-fryer pork chops are so delicious and so easy to make. My husband loves them. —Lynn Moretti, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

Ingredients

Cooking spray
2 large eggs
1/4 cup 2% milk
1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1 cup finely chopped pecans
4 smoked bone-in pork chops (7-1/2 ounces each )
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
1 tablespoon thawed frozen orange juice concentrate

Directions

Preheat air fryer to 400°. Spritz fryer basket with cooking spray. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl, toss bread crumbs with pecans.
Coat pork chops with flour; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in crumb mixture, patting to help adhere. Working in batches as needed, place chops in single layer in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray.
Cook until golden brown, 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking and spritzing with additional cooking spray. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining chops. Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until slightly thickened, 6-8 minutes. Serve with chops.
