The only cover plate your likely to find is just what you have. You would need to change to a double gang box the same as the one you used for the receptacles.

However the box really isn't even needed. Is that two GFCIs in the other box? You only need one. That should give you more then enough room to wire them both.

However if you only have one breaker supplying the counter top you need to run a new 20a circuit from the breaker box for the second receptacle. In that case it would need to be GFCI protected also.

However if the pictured receptacle is on a circuit used for anything other then the counter top or is not 20a you need two new circuits.

Note: It is best to have a separate circuit for the refrigerator but it may be plugged into a counter top circuit.
