If it is not listed in the manual for your CPU (which should be readily available at the manufacturer's website), it's probably not okay.
Try it at your own risk.

That's blatantly wrong. Those lists are made mainly from what's available when the board was getting made ready for release to public sale. Available RAM brands and models are in a constant state of change. By the time you buy the board, all the tested RAM might be no longer available to buy. If it's in the maker's list, you can expect it to work, but you can't expect it to not work if it is not listed.
That said, the .pdf for that Asus makes no mention of DDR3L 1.35V RAM, which means only DDR3 1.5V is supported, which means there's reasonable likelihood you can use the RAM you already have in it.
The board supports dual-channel RAM, which means a big performance penalty of you don't use RAM sticks in matched pairs. If you have only one stick, to use it you should find a match to use with it if you don't want performance to suffer by up to nearly 50%.
