We consider Supersymmetric (SUSY) and non-SUSY models of chaotic inflation based on the simplest power-law potential with exponent 2-6. We propose a convenient non-minimal coupling to gravity and a non-minimal kinetic term which ensure inflationary observables favored by the Bicep2/Keck Array and Planck results. Inflation can be attained for subplanckian inflaton values with the corresponding effective theories retaining the perturbative unitarity up to the Planck scale.
