We revisit the compatibility between chaotic inflation, which provides a natural solution to the initial condition problem, and the metastable electroweak vacuum, which is suggested by the results of the LHC and the current mass measurements of the top quark and Higgs boson. It is known that chaotic inflation poses a threat to the stability of the electroweak vacuum because it easily generates large Higgs fluctuations during inflation or preheating and triggers the catastrophic vacuum decay. In this paper, we propose a simple cosmological solution in which the vacuum is stabilized during chaotic inflation, preheating, and afterwards. This simple solution naturally predicts formation of primordial black holes. We find interesting parameter regions where the present dark matter density is provided by them. Also, the thermal leptogensis can be accommodated in our scenario.
