    1      cup           flour
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
      1/3  cup           butter or margarine
    2      tablespoons   chives -- chopped
    2      tablespoons   cold water
                         *FILLING*
    2      cups          cheddar cheese -- shredded
    1      cup           chicken -- cooked, shredded
    6                    bacon slices -- crisply cooked
      1/4  pound         asparagus
    1 1/2  cups          half and half
    4                    eggs -- slightly beaten
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
      1/8  teaspoon      pepper
 
    Heat oven to 400°.  In medium bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in
 butter until crumbly.  Stir in chives and water (mixture will be

    Spread cheese over bottom of crust; top with chicken.  Sprinkle bacon

 In small bowl, stir together remaining filling ingredients.  Pour over
 chicken mixture.  Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden and set in
 center.  Let stand 10 minutes.  Source:  Land o Lakes:  Treasury of
