Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Finely dice the onion and thinly slice the garlic, set them aside. Cut the potatoes into quarters and transfer to a baking dish.
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken pieces on both sides until golden, then transfer to the baking dish.
Add the butter to the pan. Once melted, add the onion and garlic and sauté for a few minutes until softened. Add the crushed red pepper and saute for a few seconds.
Add the white wine and let it simmer out. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Transfer the contents of the pan to the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and mix in the xanthan gum and green peas.
Return to the oven and bake uncovered for 15 more minutes. Take the dish out of the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve!
