Try this easy and healthy version of the classic Japanese dish, Pork Tonkatsu. By using an air fryer instead of deep frying, you can enjoy a crispy and flavorful dish without all the extra oil. Serve it with a tangy Tonkatsu sauce and a side of rice or salad for a complete meal.

- Coat each pork chop with flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
