Wiring For an Additional Kitchen Outlet

Question: I need to add an outlet in my kitchen (up in my cabinets) and have that controlled by a switch down below. So I can plug in my under cabinet counter lighting in & have it controlled by the switch.
Could you help?

This electrical question came from: Doug, a Homeowner from O’Fallon, IL
