I think the egg came first. I think the chicken evolved from some other bird that was very close to being a chicken, but not quite a modern chicken. Then it laid an egg. When the egg hatched there was a modern chicken which was slightly different than it's chicken-like parents. It would have had some mutation that made it more fit to survive and pass on it's modern chicken genes to create more modern chickens.
