Air Fryer Alchemy
- Lightly spray your air fryer basket with oil.
- Place the breaded chops in the basket.

- Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Give the other side a spritz of oil too.
No Air Fryer? No Problem!
Oven method for the air fryer-less:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Place chops on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Note: They won’t be as crispy, but they’ll still be delicious!

The longer these chops soak up that honey mustard goodness, the juicier and more flavorful they’ll be.
