In a large pot heat the 4 cups of water and the chicken breasts. Boil until the chicken is cooked through. Drain the chicken and set aside. In another large pot over high heat add the coconut oil, shallots, curry paste, curry powder, spices and garlic. Saute for about a minute, stirring often.  Add the chicken broth and bring to a low boil, then add the coconut milk. Let simmer, covered for about 5 minutes. In the meantime shred the cooked chicken. Add the chicken, fish sauce, and sugar. Reduce heat and cover. About 5 minutes before serving increase heat and bring to a boil. Add the noodles, snow peas, spinach and green onions. Cook until the noodles are just tender, it doesn’t take long. Serve with the cilantro, chilies, and lime juice.
