Setting the log level to info or debug is the only way currently: 
https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/346aff0078a676d8c05319c017b891184426d004/lib/chef/provider/execute.rb#L55-L57

It wouldn’t be too difficult to write a patch to let you toggle that 
yourself, if you’re interested. It would also be pretty easy to write your 
own variant of the execute resource that always sets a live stream.
