1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ cup ranch dressing
1 tablespoon milk

Air fry at 330º Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking time.

Notes

Optimal Thickness: To ensure juicy and tender pork chops, aim for a thickness of about ¾ inch. Thicker chops may require longer cooking times and can result in a dry exterior before the interior is fully cooked, while thinner chops may cook too quickly and become tough.
Even Coating is Key: When dredging the pork chops in the ranch mixture and coating them with the dry ingredients, ensure each chop is evenly coated to achieve a uniform flavor and texture. Press the breadcrumbs mixture firmly onto the pork chops to ensure it adheres well during cooking.
Flip for Even Cooking: Flipping the pork chops halfway through the cooking time promotes even browning and ensures both sides are cooked to perfection. Use tongs to gently flip the chops, being careful not to disturb the coating, and continue cooking until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F for optimal safety and juiciness.
