Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Add ground cumin and ground coriander to the onions and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the shredded chicken, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
Add mole sauce to the pot, stirring to coat the chicken evenly.
Add the rinsed long-grain rice and chicken stock, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
In a separate small pan, toast the pumpkin seeds over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently.
Remove the biryani from heat. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
