Eating potato chips
An independent clause is simply another word for a complete one-clause sentence. You can read about the various types of clauses in English here: h t t p :// guidetogrammar.org/grammar/clauses.htm
Technically, that whole sentence is the independent clause, but your teacher is probably hoping you'll say that "John saw a raccoon" is the clause.
There are two participial phrases here, too — one is before the main clause and one is after: "While walking in the park" and "eating potato chips."
