I can't imagine a chicken florentine recipe with mushroom soup, mayo, or
cheese. Florentine just means that it's served with spinach. So you
would just prepare chicken breast however you want (broiled, lightly
breaded, whatever), and serve it on sauteed spinach. I suppose you could
make creamed spinach, but sauteed in olive oil with garlic is what I
would do.
