Air-Fryer Stuffed Pork Chops

Should the pork chops be bone-in or boneless?

You can use bone-in or boneless pork chops for stuffed pork chops in the air fryer. However, it can be more challenging to create the pocket for filling if you go the bone-in route. Boneless chops are easier to handle, and they tend to cook more evenly in the air fryer.

How can you tell when stuffed pork chops are done?

Stuffed pork chops are finished cooking when the thickest part of the meat reaches 145°, the right internal temperature for pork chops. The meat inside may still be a little pink at this temperature, but it is safe to eat (and deliciously tender!). If you don’t have a thermometer, look for the exterior to turn golden brown and the meat to be firm to the touch. When cut into, the meat should be cooked through with a slight blush of pink in the center. The stuffing should be hot to the touch.

What do you serve with air-fryer stuffed pork chops?

Serve air-fryer stuffed pork chops with your favorite vegetable pairings. Mashed potatoes and peas are a classic combination to accompany pork chop recipes, but we also love combining roasted vegetables with rice pilaf for this dish. When in doubt, you can never go wrong with a great side salad.

How do you reheat air-fryer stuffed pork chops?

The best way to reheat air-fryer stuffed pork chops is by wrapping each pork chop individually in foil and baking in a 350° oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Leftover pork chops can be stored in foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
