Actually Catch-22 came first. but..the Egg.
Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg. The pecking order was clear. The living organism inside the eggshell would have had the same DNA as the chicken it would develop into. Therefore, the first living thing which we could say unequivocally was a member of the species would be this first egg, In conclusion, the egg came first.

If you believe in Creationism, it's the chicken; if you believe in Evolution, it's the egg. Personally, I believe in both, which also means the egg. I believe that God spoke and started the Big Bang, so that the universe and our Earth could evolve from that. God is an infinite being, so how does He know or care about the difference between seven days and seven billion years?
Dinosaurs are proof of Evolution, IMO, because I choose to NOT believe in a deceptive and/or treacherous god, so the fossils couldn't be there to trick or test us. You can look at the process of Evolution and still see how God first created the light and dark, the heavens and Earth, the land and seas, the amoeba, and worked His way up from there, to finish off with Man on the Seventh Day/Seven Billionth Year.

Philosophically, if we're talking of the same organism, then the egg came first and it grew into a chicken. If we're talking of two different organisms, with one being the mother and the other the child, then the chicken came first, and laid the egg.
Scientifically, genetic mutations occur during the fertilisation process (sperm and egg), so for chickens to have evolved, the genes contained in a pre-chicken-age egg would have mutated, and that would have grown into the first chicken, ushering in the chicken-age. So the egg came first.

God created the chicken to lay the egg.

i am not sure as the chicken had to have laid the egg for there to be an egg. confusing isn't it?

Actually recent scientific studies have shown that the egg has indeed come first!
