Now seriously think about it. How do we get an egg? From the chicken. Where did the chicken come from? The egg.
Now consider this, Genesis 1:20-21
20) And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21) So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
So which came first? :-)

The question isn't specific enough. First off, are we talking about a chicken egg? If we're not talking about specifically chicken eggs, then eggs definitely came first, because nearly every animal hatches from an egg of some sort.
However, if we're talking about a chicken egg, then the answer of the question is based on your definition of "Chicken Egg."
A chicken egg is either:
a) An egg laid by a chicken
b) An egg that contains a chicken embryo
c) An egg laid by a chicken that contains a chicken embryo
If your definition is "a," an egg laid by a chicken, then the answer to the question would be that a chicken came first. The only way there could be a chicken egg, according to your definition, is if a chicken laid it. So, the chicken came first.
If your definition is "b," an egg that contains a chicken embryo, then the answer to the question would be that the egg came first. An ancestory of the chicken, that through evolution, was very chicken-like, but not fully a chicken, laid the egg that contained an embryo of what is the first chicken.
If your definition is "c," an egg that was laid by a chicken and contains a chicken embryo, then the answer is a chicken. A very close ancestory of the chicken laid an egg that contained a chicken embryo (but wasn't laid by a chicken). Out came the first chicken, who then laid an egg that would be considered the first chicken egg.

The conclusion that I have come up with is that the chicken was first as was man and woman. However it was that we poofed inot existance so did the chicken. It's like asking what came first, the person or the fetus. There has to be an adult to create the fetus/egg. Tho you may argue that the adult itself also must at one point have been a fetus/egg I have gone with the "poof" theory. An egg wouldnt hatch anyways without a chicken to sit on it and warm it, etc.

The Chicken

In biblical terms God created animals first not what made the animal like an egg. So if you thought over it you would probably get the chicken.

Definitely Chicken because in the beginning God created a man and animals. Later when Eve had her first son then the chick started to lay egg.

The way I see it there are two answers to this question.
In biblical terms the chicken came first as it was poofed into existence.
In evolutionary terms the egg came first as you wouldn't necessarily need a chicken to make a chicken egg.
as the species evolved, two animals (similar to, but not chickens) mated to finally create the chicken as we know it today.
Does it definitively answer your question? I guess not, it will all depend on your view of existence whether you believe in creationism or evolution.

It is the chicken, all living beings being developed from primitive cellular organisams. A egg cannot get developed of its own.
During the period of evolution, millions of years ago, from a single cellular organisam, it started all the different varieties of animals, reptiles, birds, etc., Later according to their living habitat, they adopted themselves with that and everything started at that point. Say, for example, the eyelids of Camel is thicker so that it can avoid sandy wind and its feets are capable of walking in to deserts. Duck with webbed feet is the other example.
