It depends on how you say the universe appeared.
Creationism says the chicken because God made the animals first.
Evolution would say the egg, because the chicken would have evolved, and though its parents were not chickens they were born from eggs.
Solve that question, then come back and answer the chicken one.

The chicken or the egg is a reference to the causality dilemma which arises from the expression "which came first, the chicken or the egg?". Since both the chicken and the egg create the other in certain circumstances (a chicken emerges from an egg; an egg is laid by a chicken) it is ambiguous which originally gave rise to the other. Purely logical attempts to resolve the dilemma result in an infinite regress, since an egg was caused by a chicken, which was caused by an egg, etc. Since every chicken originates from its egg, it seems obvious the egg came first. Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. The solution may require an examination of syntax and may rely on verification from advances in modern genetic science. When used in reference to difficult problems of causality, the chicken and egg dilemma is often used to appeal to the futility of debate and lay it to rest.

If u are dare enough to accept the true fact then here is my reply:-
A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face. The egg is frowning and looking a bit pissed off. The egg mutters to no one in particular, "Well, I guess we answered THAT question

The egg... thats how the chicken was made... and through evolution, an egg is more simple to be made then a chicken

If you believe in the Bible, the chicken came first.
If you believe evoultion, then try this question; Was there a first chicken? Darwin suggested that species change slowly. And we do have fossils showing just that sort of change.
