Yes. As long as the receptacle is not on a SABC. If it is #14 you should be ok.

sorry but what is a SABC ?

SABC stands for Small Appliance Branch Circuit

If you have enough breaker space, or can put in a tandem breaker, pull a new circuit for it. You never know that later on, a Microwave over the range may take its place.

If you will hard wire it its fine if your going to add a receptacle and plug it in it must be a dedicated circuit
