The only problem I see with panels in the kitchen is you will probably have a working space problem. Wall space in the kitchen is at a premium and you need clear space around a panel.

Could you put it behind the refrigerator?
;-)
They are usually on wheels.
As bad as that sounds it might be the easiest way to insure you maintain the clear space. An issue might be "foreign systems", depending on how the icemaker is plumbed.
In retrospect I would also question "readily accessible" but you usually have that problem, wherever the panel gets installed. How many times have you been able to walk right up to a residential panel in an occupied home and have full working space without moving something?
I put mine in a shallow closet with little room for any other use (except my wiring) just for that reason.
