In a large pot of medium heat, heat the olive oil.
Add the onions and ground beef and season with the 7 Spice and ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper.
Cook until the onions are soft and the ground beef is browned, about 5-8 minutes.
Add the chickpeas and the rice, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and stir to combine.
Pour the chicken broth or water on top.
Mix all the ingredients together, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 15 minutes, until the rice is fully cooked.
Remove from heat but keep covered, and allow the steam to continue cooking the rice for 5-10 more minutes.
Fluff the rice, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
