There is only one duplex outlet(GFCI)on the 20 Amp circuit besides the
garbage disposal. It wouldn't be a big deal to switch out the breaker for
one rated at 15 Amps if necessary.
I would do that anyway. The GFCI is probably only rated at 15 amps, and so
probably the disposal. You don't need a 20 amp, and will better protect the
wire and the disposal.
Like all outlets, even those with contacts rated for 15A, GFCIs are rated for
20A feed-through so can be put on 20A circuits without problems.
