the egg obviously. Eggs for breakfast, chicken for lunch.

The egg,
The bird that was evolving toward being a chicken, but was not quite a chicken laid the egg that had the mutated new bird we now know as the chicken inside it. So a non chicken laid the egg which bore a chicken. So the egg came first.

This question is "asked" during the times two or more people are aiming at "prioritizing" steps that need to be taken.
Otherwise, as a "biological question" it is the "ultimate" question and it's never been successfully answered.
In order to HAVE an egg and the ability to produce new life from it, there must be a fully mature egg-bearer from which the egg is inherent...the egg is "within" the egg-bearer. Same with the "fertilizing agent"...another mature "agent".
The Theory of Evolution has only been proved in a few species of fawna....greenery, and it has NOT been proved in humans...as we know ourselves to be...at all, as of yet, and it doesn't appear we humans will be proved to have "evolved" for a long, long time, if ever. Therefore, with respect to us humans, "evolution" remains an hypothesis and is the "Hypothesis of Human Evolution".
Will we ever know for sure? Will be ever be able to state what came first, the chicken or the egg? Maybe yes, maybe know. Personally, I wish we knew for sure, but, facts are we just don't know for sure. And so, as with any and every other hypothesis, I hold off stating that The Hypothesis of Human Evolution is fact, since it has not been proved at all.

I thought we figured this out. First it was a single celled creature crawling around then it divided and evolved and divided and evolved and mutated into things that came from the sea and adapted to land. Then in order for the species to survive as it was evolving it was given a more complicated way to reproduce. The single celled jocks would simply split up and then there where two. So then the chicken pooped out the egg and we all had ham and eggs, not green ones, and lived happily ever after till someone asked this question again. Sorry! Just having fun. But has anyone really scientifically answered this or just left it for "GOD MADE IT SO"

It must be the egg
Whatever laid the egg was very close to what we call a chicken, but the last evolutionary step was completed when it laid that egg.
Imaging Mum and Dad were slightly different species, and their combined DNA created a chicken. Therefore the egg hatched into a chicken, but neither parent were what we would call a chicken.
Therefore the answer has to be EGG

Chicken

obviously chicken did. the creature that had the egg that lead to the first chicken was not a chicken but a pre-evolved chicken. So the first chicken pecked his way out of the egg (non-chicken egg) and was alive as the first evolved chicken, and then had the first chicken egg.

The Chicken
According to evolution theories from Jurassic period, the first bird was Kraken which evolved from Mammals. Over millions of years, some birds started laying eggs, due to forces of nature, and that explains the evolution of birds.
Chicken is a bird. So, obviously it came before the egg

The Egg!
Chickens had to evolve, but dinosours were already being born in eggs, so egg came first!
