I HAVE THE TRUE ANSWER AND A RESPONSE FROM A RELIABLE SITE TO PROVE IT.
THE EGG, BECAUSE NON-CHICKEN EGGS EXISTED BEFORE CHICKENS EVOLVED. =)
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.

The Chicken, how could there be an egg without a chicken?
BUT how can there be a chicken, without an egg? Hmm... Very Nice Question you have there. I've always been told that it was the chicken though. I'm going with the chicken, because how would the egg hatch with out the process of whatever the mother chicken had to do to get it hatched (Like sit on it and so on...)
Hope that made some sense.
Hope all is well too!

Which came first - the chicken or the egg? "The chicken" came first - in the sentence of the question. If the question is phrased differently, the answer is different.

The chicken and I can prove it. If the egg came first, what was sitting on it to keep it warm and make it hatch????
