Talk to your coworker and say that you remember coming up with the idea yourself. See what they say and go from there.

I think so far, this answer is the most "me". I kind of want to see what they have to say before jumping to any conclusions.

It could have somehow been an honest mistake... I know this coworker to get nervous when speaking at meetings and I could see that causing him to misspeak.

I like this suggestion. See if your coworkers says that they misspoke and then you and the coworker go tell your boss that it was actually your idea to set the record straight. If they don't own up...I'd just go talk to your boss one on one and let them know what happened.
