We investigate in some detail a "variational mass" expansion approach, generalized from a similar construction developed in the Gross-Neveu model, to evaluate the basic order parameters of the dynamical breaking of the $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ and $SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R$ chiral symmetries in QCD. The method starts with a reorganization of the ordinary perturbation theory with the addition of an arbitrary quark mass $m$. The new perturbative series can be summed to all orders thanks to renormalization group properties, with specific boundary conditions, and advocated analytic continuation in $m$ properties. In the approximation where the explicit breakdown of the chiral symmetries due to small current quark masses is neglected, we derive ansatzes for the dynamical contribution to the "constituent" masses $M_q$ of the $u,d,s$ quarks; the pion decay constant $F_\pi$; and the quark condensate $< \bar q q > $ in terms of the basic QCD scale $\Lambda_{\bar{MS}} $. Those ansatzes are then optimized, in a sense to be specified, and also explicit symmetry breaking mass terms can be consistently introduced in the framework. The obtained values of $F_\pi$ and $M_q$ are roughly in agreement with what is expected from other non-perturbative methods. In contrast we obtain quite a small value of $|< \bar q q >|$ within our approach. The possible interpretation of the latter results is briefly discussed.
