Air Fryer Stuffed Boneless Pork Chops
Description
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops, Thick, boneless pork chop
- 1 cup prepared stuffing, any type
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon parsley, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Begin by taking your thick, boneless pork chops and creating a pocket in each for the stuffing. Do this by making a horizontal slit in the side of each chop, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Fill the pocket in each pork chop with your prepared stuffing. Be generous but avoid overstuffing, as it may spill out during cooking. Press the edges of the pork chops together to hold the stuffing in place.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the stuffed pork chops, ensuring they are well-coated. This will add flavor and help to achieve a crispy outer layer.
- Preheat your air fryer to around 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial for cooking the pork chops evenly and getting a nice crust.
- Place the stuffed pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook them for about 10 minutes, then flip them over and cook for an additional 10 minutes. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops and your air fryer model.
- Pork chops are done when their internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to check. They should be golden brown on the outside and the stuffing heated through.
- Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the chops are juicy and flavorful. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
