The egg came first. Yes, it's been proven. The embryo of the first chicken was inside an egg, therefore the egg came first. You can also say that the first chicken came out of the first chicken egg. The creature that gave birth to the first chicken egg is an ancestor of the chicken.
It's based on the theory of evolution.

The first chicken would have hatched from an egg from a genetic ancestor of the chicken. But the hatchling chicken would have been the first modern chicken. Therefore it's first egg would have been THE first chicken egg.
Whatever chicken like creature came before it would have not itself been a chicken. therefore the chicken would have not hatched from a chicken egg but moreso an egg from the bird that layed it.

In nature, living things evolve through changes in their DNA. In an animal like a chicken, DNA from a male sperm cell and a female ovum meet and combine to form a zygote -- the first cell of a new baby chicken. This first cell divides innumerable times to form all of the cells of the complete animal. In any animal, every cell contains exactly the same DNA, and that DNA comes from the zygote.
Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken.
Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first.

Well you have to have a chicken to lay an egg but then you have to have an egg to get a chicken but if there's no chicken to keep the egg warm , how will the egg hatch .

In an evolutionary point of view, prehistoric reptiles evolved into birds.So that would point to the egg of the predecessor of the chicken probably came first. Have a great day.

Egg, what we know as a chicken had to have been born from something not a chicken, and what we know as a chicken was a mutation or evolutionary marvel that worked quite well.
