The tradeoff of using clarified butter is taste. Butter (or oil) can really bring a dish together, much like how salt is basically essential when cooking, for taste. Clarified butter is butter without the milk solids. Depending on what you're going for, that can impact the taste. You can cook with EVOO. I've done breaded chicken breasts on the stove with EVOO. Just gotta keep the heat low (still hot enough for food safety standards) and leave the chicken on a little longer.
