If you take the question literally, the answer is simple. It was the egg. Basically because the question never states that the egg is a chicken egg and because of this we can say the egg came first before the chicken courtesy of the countless dinosaur eggs laid before the time of the chicken. Of course this reasoning is being pedantic since the question assumes that everyone will read the question to mean the chicken egg.
If this is the case then the question is impossible to answer unless a definition is cleared up. The question is not impossible to answer because nobody was around at the time of the first chicken (or egg) but because nobody has irrefutably defined what a chicken egg is. Is a chicken egg an egg that a chicken lays, or a egg that contains a chicken? If it is the former then the chicken cam first because you need the chicken to lay the chicken egg. If it is the latter then the egg came first because it contained the very first chicken as we know it.

well that's hard:
I think it's the chicken because the chicken was formed from a bird that slowly evolved into chickens we know today. And also, you need a chicken to lay the egg so....
But if you're talking eggs in general than it's the egg that came first. Other animals have laid eggs before chickens!

A single cell organism came first thats what. but we dont know that for sure. some things can simply not be explained by modern science and thats where religion comes in.

God made the chicken who in turn laid the egg.
