Stir together oil, garlic, and thyme in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over pork. Sprinkle pork all over with salt and pepper. Wrap bacon slices, overlapping slightly, around pork; secure using wooden picks.
Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 10 minutes. Lightly coat fry basket with cooking spray. Add pork to basket, and cook until bacon fat has rendered and a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of pork registers 145°F, 20 to 24 minutes, turning pork halfway through cook time.
Transfer pork to a carving board, and let rest 10 minutes. Remove and discard wooden picks. Slice pork, and serve.

Chops!
Tender boneless pork chops seasoned to perfection, full of stuffing, and quickly air-fried make getting dinner on the table in no time at all no problem at all!
These stuffed pork chops start with Stove Top Stuffing to really make them quick to create. Stove Top comes with everything you need to make a stuffing almost everyone enjoys. And it’s SO FAST to make!
If you prefer to make your own stuffing just make an equal amount of stuffing. Don’t worry if it’s not EXACTLY like Stove Top Stuffing, if you like it, it will be great in the pork chops!
Preheat the Air Fryer!
Do you HAVE to preheat the air fryer!?! Yes, be sure to preheat your Air Fryer so it’s hot and ready to cook the chops. This allows the food to start cooking at a high temperature rather than waiting for it to heat up with food in it.
