•
1 tablespoon sherry
•
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
•
1 teaspoon minced garlic
•
1 pound boneless pork breakfast chops (4 chops)
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
2 large eggs
•
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs

nonstick cooking spray
Directions
1
Make sauce: Whisk together ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved. Set sauce aside.
2
Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3
Prepare pork chops: Lay pork chops on a clean work surface; season with salt and pepper.
4
Beat eggs in a flat dish. Place bread crumbs in a separate flat dish.
5
Dip a pork chop in beaten eggs, then dredge in bread crumbs. Dip again in eggs, then press in bread crumbs to thoroughly coat. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
6
Place pork chops in the basket of the preheated air fryer and spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray. Air-fry for 10 minutes. Flip chops over using a spatula and spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray again. Air-fry for 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of pork chops should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
7
Transfer pork chops to a cutting board and slice. Serve with sauce.
