Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Chicken Florentine is American and you'll never find it in Italy. It is interesting to note though that, historically speaking, the origins of "Florentine" preparation trace their roots back to Florence-born Catherine de'Medici and her legendary merry band of French cooks. What made a dish "Florentine" was not the spinach, but the white sauce that her French cooks made: the besciamella, or béchamel.
