One way using just chef builtin features is via the 'breakpoint'
resource[0] combined with chef-shell. Then within a run you can use
chef_run.rewind, chef_run.resume, chef_run.skip_forward,
chef_run.skip_backward to move around in the recipe execution. You can
find detailed examples on chef-shell docs page[1]
