The chicken of course!
Actually it would have been a great ancestor of the chicken that was not yet a chicken. The chicken didn't show up until much later through evolution. There was no hard shell back then but that which gives birth came first.

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.

I believe the chicken (and other fowl) were originally engineered through scientific processes by the Elohim (that is, the Creators who populated the Earth) to reproduce by the laying of eggs. Hence neither the chicken nor the egg actually came first. They were both conceived and thus did coexist.

If you believe in the Bible, the chicken came first. "And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And God said, 'Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven'." Genesis 1:19-20. Chickens are a type of fowl, so the Bible says that chickens came first.

the chicken HAD to come first, because you can't have a chicken egg without a chicken. here's what happened: one day long ago, a dinosaur had an egg. the embryo was mutated, and it hatched into a chicken. the chicken found another mutated dinosaur/chicken, and they had a chicken egg. that's how chickens came to be.

Whether by Creation or Evolution, of necessity, the chicken had to come first for there to be a later egg

Uh, I think the chicken, Because if the egg came first, there would be no mother hen before it to incubate it and protect it.
