For all intents and purposes it is technically the egg in this "example". Like Magatsu said, previous egg laying species predate modern Chickens, so that answers the question. But if you were to look at this more generally, the egg didn't come before any of the species that lay them. Eggs are merely a form of reproduction. You can't reproduce something until it actually exists.

A chicken came before chicken eggs at least

The Egg. That's the official scientific answer. The first thing we would call a Chicken was evolved from something that was almost but not quite a chicken, which layed the egg of the first chicken.

Also, you are forgetting Eggs not layed by a Chicken. In which case the Tyranosaurus egg came much earlier than the chicken.

Chicken, you see the protein required to make an egg is only found inside a female chicken, there was an ASAP science video about this on youtube. This is just another one of those seemingly unsolved mystery that has already been solved.

A proto-chicken laid an egg which became the progenitor of the modern-day chicken, but this question is more of semantics since the proto-chickens themselves hatched from eggs incubated by their parents, in Aristotelean metaphysics, actuality precedes potentiality, for the potential to become actual, a causative agent that is in the state actuality must act upon it, so the actual chicken (proto-chicken) must precede the potential chicken (egg of modern-day chicken). Therefore, one should not misconstrue that eggs can precede the egg-laying species themselves because that is erroneous.

Dinosaurs made eggs and eggs transmuted to create chickens.

The chicken came first of course, as the first chicken sprang from a different species's egg.
