The Blues welcomed Manchester City to Stamford Bridge on Sunday as Benitez took charge of his first match.
The top-of-the-table encounter ended in a goalless draw, with Torres failing to make a difference in yet another match.
Having scored 81 goals during his time at Anfield, the 28-year-old's struggles since arriving in west London show no signs of abating.
He has found the back of the net seven times this season, although has only 19 goals in total for the Blues since his January move in 2011.
Benitez, however, is confident that the out-of-sorts striker can once again find his goalscoring touch.
"You could see he was trying very hard," Benitez, who coached Torres while with the Reds, said after the weekend's match.
"But I think the team has to help Fernando and create more chances, and he will score goals.
"You cannot expect a striker scoring just on his own, so we have to create more and better chances for him with the players we have.
"Obviously, I'm not happy with just one shot on target, but the main thing is to create chances and go close."
