We define a functional for Hermitian metrics using the curvature of the Chernconnection. The Euler-Lagrange equation for this functional is an ellipticequation for Hermitian metrics. Solutions to this equation are related toK\"ahler-Einstein metrics, and are automatically K\"ahler-Einstein undercertain conditions. Given this, a natural parabolic flow equation arises. Weprove short time existence and regularity results for this flow, as well asstability for the flow near K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with negative or zerofirst Chern class.
