Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Add the Knorr Mexican Rice, chicken broth, cooked chicken, and salsa to the baking dish. Stir until well combined.
Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. If needed, continue baking for a few extra minutes until the rice is fully cooked.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Pour the queso dip evenly over the shredded cheese, spreading it gently with a spoon if needed.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the queso is hot and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
